Last month when we were on the porch, this little guy was hanging out in one of the palms. So I put on the 80-400 to get some photos. Well, I started out across the yard, but this guy let me get closer than the lens could focus. I got to about 6 feet from him, and he never got very nervous. Finally, after about an hour, he flew away. We watched him fly two doors down and fly onto the porch! [This attachment has been purged.

Just out visiting the neighbors, Craig. I do like the 80-400VR. It might be tricky to learn how to focus with it but you can't beat the value. I know there's rumors of Nikon updating it soon but I am very happy I picked one up back in January.
