Leica should be grateful for your fine work, and how it demonstrates what that lens system can do in the right hands. Do you see the Rufous Towhee down there? They flit and flutter through the underplantings in our (suburban) back yard. Very shy, very lovely birds.

Photons from a Chestnut-backed Chickadee are very difficult to capture: they're small and exceptionally quick and they like dense foliage: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/paridae/L1004267.jpg the Pacific-slope Flycatcher: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/tyrannidae/L1004303.jpg and California Towhee: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/emberizidae/L1004279.jpg All photos: R8/DMR @ISO 400, 560mm f/6.8, over-shapened, detail pulled out of the shadows and cropped a LOT.
