Haha ... yer I guess it could fly and accidentally stab you in the eye with its long pointy beak ... and the eye wound could turn septic ... and then delirium sets in ... and in your confused state you could stagger onto a highway ... and get cleaned up by a greyhound ...
bus!
So yer, you're correct, it could potentially kill you.
Nice bird shots...shot a few yesterday after the snow...
Has the IQ of the 300/F4 IS or 300/2.8, but appear the focal length of 400+ and doesn't feel like it's shot through a TC ...
So, OK, I'm curious (and can't check the EXIF easily on this XP box) ...

They were shot through a dirty kitchen window with a 70 - 200 L 2.8 II at 200 and 2.8
OK, birds closer than I thought ... makes sense ...
I know the IQ of the Canon tele's pretty well ... whereas I have very limited experience w/ the normal, wide, and UWA lenses ...
I have a vI 70-200, which I love, and I know the v2 is a significant improvement ...

Love the bird shots, Chris!
My three fav photo subj's: dogs pooping, street candids - but esp. people shooting (photo), and flowers ... nice.
I was messin' around with a reversed 55mm ol' school Minolta lens with 68mm of extension tubes and a lichened-up stick about a month ago. Didn't do much with the images then, but I ran across them last night, and these two seemed interesting for some reason. I don't know. Maybe my eyes were just tired and bored. Thought I'd thread bump with a macro share.
I also watched Avatar not too many nights ago... maybe that's what did it.

That's the most cardinals I've seen together, ever!
I'm reading The Forest Unseen right now. There is a chapter on songbirds in the cold. Gives me a different perspective on that shot.
Keep feeding them, JHP! They burn a huge amount of energy shivering to keep from freezing to death.
