NO laughing

Not so bad, actually pretty good considering the conditions.

Okay what lens was that, your 400 and a tc doesn't add up to 700?

Considering what you describe, I'd say that shot is quite good! Guess you'll just have to come down here and try out Merritt for yourself. (Oh, and bring lots of CF cards!  )

 

Congrats on your capture very nice considering the shooting circumstances. Let me tell you I needed a chiropractor after 5 days at Vier and Merritt to fix my neck for looking all over at the birdies

 

Looks like you did teriffic to me, congrats on the first of hopefully many!!

 

Cool Keith. Is that a little green heron?

 

I believe it is a very nice shot of a night heron, not sure if it is a yellow crown or black crowned night heron:

NIKON D2H    ---    420mm    f/5.6    1/1000s    ISO 200

here's a southern cousin earlier in the year, while you were still under snow.. 8)

 

I think Harris is right. Looks like a night heron of some type.

Very good shot Keith. What lens / TC combo did you use on this one?

 

Looks like yellow crowned... good shot!!!

 

Definitely a night heron of some sort. For comparison, here's a juvenile black crown night heron taken about a week ago.

 

I thought I would wait till I quit laughing to post. lolol

Great shot...:>))

If you come down here to shoot birdies you will be so overwhelmed you won't know what direction to shoot in first, especially at the rookery.

COME ON DOWN !!!!!!!!!!
