The curious waxwing

Thanks Owl...These guys were 10 meters away, doubt they heard the camera. Even using the D90 and the 70 to 300 I still had to crop heavy to get an image the birds could dominate. I'm scared to print it large due to the noise.

300mm is not much for little birds like that, they have to be close at least five meters to get fairly got shots of them. And did you try already some noise reduction software, like NeatImage?
