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...

Osprey!
I went to a spot where I knew there was an Osprey nest today to see what I could see... The light was bad and the nest was too distant for good shooting from the roadside pullout (and with my son in his car seat I can't exactly leave the truck), but when one of the pair left, the other bird soon headed for a pine near to another loop in the road. I didn't expect it to still be in the tree by the time I packed up and drove over there, but the bird exceeded my expectations...
All shot with the Tamron SP 400mm f/4 with the Tamron Adaptall 1.4x TC. From the point where I originally set up I was able to move about ten feet closer at one point, but the significantly closer images are crops...
