This was courtesy of my nice zoom lens, from a trip out to Yellowstone a couple years ago. Though, the buffalo would at times come pretty close to the road, so you didn’t necessarily need to zoom in to get a good picture of them.

I don’t take tons of pictures of birds, though we do have some pretty ones that come to the feeders. When I take the time to use my nice zoom lens, sometimes I can grab some good shots of them.

This is one of the peacocks that live out at the Schell’s Brewery, in New Ulm, MN. If you visit in spring, sometimes the males are showing off, and you can get a picture of their beautiful tails. They’re not too wary of humans, and nicely pose for the camera.
