Wow! A bobcat out in broad daylight, and close enough to photograph. That Hairy Woodpecker is obviously an eastside subspecies, what with the clean white underparts. Lots of luck in the future!

Subject: [Tweeters] A couple of photos from Okanogan, Bobcat, and Hairy Woodpecker

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.
