You must have some really fancy glass--those birds didn't come up close and sit that still.

No "L" series in my bag, that's for sure, big $....

I shot the birds with a Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM Lens @ 500mm

It does a beautiful job! Even considering the super high light level reflecting off a blanket of snow, you must have used a tripod & cable release. What kinds of shutter speeds did it take for these images?
