This is really cool.
Is that really mist or is there something OOF between you and the bird?

Thanks all due to limited access will respond personally...

when I return, thanks for the comments this little guys was sitting at the base of a jetty and poked his head up and the OOF rocks gave the appearance of mist, I did nothing in PS to create this effect.

That's a pretty small fog bank, only a few inches high! Interesting effect.

Hey Mike - you are the man. The first heron in the mist is exquisite.

What focus settings are you settling on for birds in flight, especially ones like the cormorant, which move pretty quickly.
