Scrub Jay, Snipe, Dowitcher Photos

Wilson's Snipe

200MM-very close range.
Long-Billed Dowitcher - Prescott, Arizona

Shot at very close range with a 200MM lens on an EOS 40D body.

Western Scrub Jay - Prescott, Arizona

I like this photo a lot...I was only about 5 feet from it.

200MM f/8 on a 70-200MM f/2.8

Canon EOS 5D Mark II

I have entered a photography contest (www.studio414contest.com) in hopes that I will win the 5D Mark II.  The deadline is the 11th, winners are announced on the 12th at 8:00 CST.

I really do need this camera, because my old one, a 40D, is falling apart, and my video camera is not working well either.  All in all, I need this camera.

So here are the pictures I have entered.  Some good, some not so much, but I don't know what the judges are looking for, so I need to throw in some that might catch the not-average viewers eye.
