J.R. said:5D3 + 70-200 II - the first time I took to birds with this lens.
Bah ... I think I'm in trouble now. The IQ of the 100-400 almost suddenly feels like crap. Need to save up for a new 300mm f/2.8 II.

Beautiful photo, J.R. What bird is that?
Yes, that combo is nice. Like you, I wish for more reach. I dream of the 600mm and then wake up ;D

This bird posed for a few minutes, sometimes you just get lucky. Made my day.
ejenner said:These are zoo photos, taken though wire (I finally found out how to make the 135 bokeh ugly), of a Stellar Sea Eagle taking a bath. I watch these two at Denver zoo quite a bit, but hadn't seen them bathing before.
Thank you, too. By the way: IMHO there are only few birds I would call uglyJack Douglas said:Maximilian I think the middle shot is almost as ugly as mine! Maybe there is a place for a thread of ugly birds after all- just joking!
The fill flash would have illuminated that whatever (leaves?) was between you and the wagtail (?) even more.Another cute ugly. This was down in a very secluded private area - she thought! Some fill flash sure could have helped.

Thanks Krob78. Its a tricky, secluded spot to get a good, clear picture. So, I'm happy with this oneKrob78 said:Mr Bean said:White faced Heron. I noticed him yesterday, on my neighbors dam. Unfortunately, I didn't have the camera setup and ready. Today, we did

ejenner, I've only seen those guys in zoos but they are huge. (And I really dislike shooting through fences too)
serendipidy, great shots of the hummers!
Some great shots from everyone(even the ugly birds ) I should probably comment sooner since this thread is picking up steam.
Just an American Wigeon looking for the perfect dabbling spot(and fortunately it was near me)
