Thanks, Steen and Cindy. It is one of my favorite pictures as well.
Cindy, Unfortunately, no. It took a lot of time, effort and a bit of cash for me to come up with this.
If Bob's PC Nikkor 28mm deal comes through, I will be doing the same thing with that lens (without the shift/focus bits) and that would be ready for full frame coverage.
Key aspect here is the use of a wide angle lens for close-ups. Of course, the light (evening, golden light) was yet another key ingredient.

Hi Cindy, Nice. I like the Duck chicks.
Here is an attempt (the mother, the whole family pics did not pan out due to lack of a long lens at that time) in false color IR (D80-IR, a 35-70 zoom).

We had over five inches of rain yesterday and the city is flooded. The birds came out this morning after a day under cover.

Nice colours and detail, Cindy. What lens did you use?
Answered even before I hit the "Post" button. That's quick

:ROTFL:Jorgen, I guess we were cross-posting.
Right now I only have a 70-300 VR as a long lens. I'm hoping Nikon will come out with a 300 f/4 IS or 400 5.6 this summer.

This hawk swept down into my back yard and nabbed a robin. He perched on my deck rail to eat his kill. I had to shoot through the window, but he still heard the click of the shutter. He picked up his prize and flew off.

Thanks Bondo and Tim.
Yes, Tim, it is either a Sharp Shinned Hawk or Coopers Hawk. Both like to prey on yard feeders and both look very much alike. Sharp Shinned is 10-14" and Coopers is 14-20" tall, so even that is not definitive in this case.

You are fantastic! These are really fun. What lens did you use.... was it remote?

Cindy, Same as the one used for the Duck (reply#18, previous page).
Manually focused and triggered. I made the pigeon quite comfortable
which took more time than the actual shots.
Thanks.
