Sup Bird Photographing goons!  I've been dabbling in all kinds of photography for about a year and a half now, including birds. The best tele lens I can afford is the Nikon 55-200mm VR. Not a particularly good lens for birding, I know, but I'm poor. SoWestern Scrub Jay  A Hummingbird nurses its baby.  He later tried to fly, and failed... Cute, but kinda sad...  Some sort of sparrow on a rock looking at the landscape.  Common Raven in flight  Some shots from San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park, which I know is kind of cheating, since you can get a lot closer and the birds don't spook as easily, but I still like em. It's good practice for every thing else but stalking them though (framing, focus, etc) Demoiselle Crane  Western Burrowing Owl  White Breasted Cormorants  I shoot a D60 so I'm kind of limited in the lenses I can use while maintaining a level of ease of use. I have some MF glass, but the combination of no metering and my suckage w/ manual focusing means that my good shot yield is abysmal. Does anyone else shoot with the 55-200mm VR or similar? I was considering checking out the Sigma 70-300mm APO, also because of its 1:2 macro focusing ability, but I don't know if it's really worth it.
