Appreciate the invite Dawg

I can definitely see the plus side to that approach.

Yes there are many benifits to this aproach...Relaxation and stress relief being only two!

Truly a man after my own heart. There are times when I'm willing to work hard to get a bird shot, but when I'm trying to shoot around my feeders, I'm usually relaxing in a lawn chair and enjoying my morning coffee. Stalking is not something I do well and my size tends to intimidate small birds (and small children). Get the coffee pot ready, Ed. One of these days I'm gonna make it back down there.

Got a rocking chair with your name on it! LOL

Hi John, Dennis, and Daniel,

Thanks! I kinda like them myself :-).

Dennis -- These were taken with a DS and Tamron SP 300 f2.8 LD (IF) plus the Tamron 140F 1.4x Adaptall 2 TC stacked on a Pentax F 1.7x Auto Focusing Adapter for a total combo of 710mm f6.7 that auto focuses because of the 1.7x AFA.

I realize that stacking TCs isn't supposed to work, but it does in this case for me, so I'm not complaining -- saved me boku $$$s in my never-ending search for more reach. . .
