April and May are great months for migrating birds in the Juneau area. I shot this photo last April while visiting a friend at his home in the valley. He had a feeder and the crossbills were collecting in his yard by the hundreds. I spent several hours with the 500mm lens with the 1.5 extender (effectively 750mm lens) shooting away. It was a lot of fun. This photo illustrates the month of April in my 2007 Juneau Alaska calendar. Camera: Nikon F/5, Lens: Nikkor 500mm with 1.5 extender, Film 35mm Velvia slide film-Mark Kelley
