Superb shots Jessie, what were you in the nest with them? Closeups indeed.

can u get any closer

awesome !

You were really able to get in close!!! Excellent captures. The shots of the babies are something else - especially the 4th and last one.

BTW, I was in San Diego last week. Here is my peacock shot - similar to yours:

Great captures - you certainly got close. I like the breeding colors and the shots of the babies. The 4th and last ones are my favorites due to composition.

Just a fantastic series! Great detail! Love the orange mohawks on the cattle egrets! You must've been really close...were these shot with the 70-300?

WOW! And a two-headed circus egret no less! Well done!

 

[lbasden]

I can only echo previous comments. What an exceptional series. The chick pictures are awesome. And the tri-colored, well can't come up with any more descriptive phrases not already used.

 

[Bolts]

You are going to have to show me how you keep that camera so steady with no tripod. Fabulous shooting, Jessie - I can almost smell the boardwalk...

Thanks for posting!
