Not exactly my backyard - Desert Aire is just to the right.
That's an amazing photo. Great first post!
This next photo shows the full scene at an already 600mm equivalent, or 12x power. That is where the property line stops for me, plus no reason to bother the birds by moving in.
Not always important to have shots as close as Woodland Park Zoo views. Less power and more landscape is often a more striking view, in my view.
