Re: Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM
We now have a second pair of kildeer nesting in a field next to our driveway, its only 2 ft from our fence. I snapped a couple of photos with my 100-400mm l and 1D MK III combination, both at 400mm, ISO 200, 1/800 sec.
As soon as I approached the nest, one began the broken wing act. I didn't really want to disturb them, and my neighbors horses were heading over wanting a handout, so I quickly took a couple of shots and left them alone.
There are only two eggs so far, but they almost always lay 4 eggs, so I'll check every few days to see if more eggs are laid. I'm glad to see them coming back every year and multiplying, i'm sure there are lots more nests, but this is the first time we've found two nests along our driveway.
