A country drive...

Went out on a long, winding, virtually untraveled road fairly close to here. I drove mostly in 1st gear at idle with my long lens on the camera in my lap... This allowed me to come across many birds and critters, though mostly the birds all look about the same, perched on the barbed wire.

Here's a few of my favorites. Shot with the Tamron SP 400mm f/4 + the Adaptall 1.4x TC.

There were a few flowers in the background of this shot. I think this is a Grasshopper Sparrow...
