Hi All, I was finally able to purchase a very good Canon 40D camera, very good shape. Monday the previous owner went to Okanogan with me, to teach me about the camera. I did see much of what everyone else reported, no owls or Sharp Tailed Grouse, and I learned the hard way to be prepared, as I continued to miss photographing some beautiful birds.I only added a couple of photos to my flickr, not the best ones, the rest of my shots are on my other computer. I cannot do any photoshop right now, so these are as is. My Mac is dying a slow painful death. I am very happy with the quality of the photos on this camera, and I used my friends 75-300mm IS USM CANON Lens, which I hope to purchase, it will take some saving to get the other lenses I want! the link is below, in case you are interested.
