Well I finally broke down and bought a D2X. I have used the D100 for the past three years. While I really liked the camera, it just was not up to this birding fever I have. These were my very first shots with the camera. I have so much to learn. All you great people here have helped and I am sure I will need lots more help in the coming months These shots were all shot in the high speed crop mode. Then they were cropped even more. Very little post processing other than some DEE added. I shot these at ISO 400 in order to keep my shutter speed up. I could have used even more speed on a couple of these. Shot with the Sigma 500 4.5 lens and Nikon TC14EII.

Then a couple more of a GBH that landed close by. I noticed the ridges on the legs that I have never seen in my previous heron pictures.
