Hi Krisbell.
Truly stunning shots, especially like the osprey, fantastic timing especially having the fishes tail in the shot, I bet he was swimming hard!
Thanks for posting.
Cheers Graham.

Crisp - clear pictures of waterfowl usually seen in the distance. We don't see the Redheads much anymore in these parts. Good to see them. Thanks

They were shot with a 60D and a Tamron 150-600 at f10 and 600mm on Monday at Point Pelee, southernmost point in Canada. There was a large opening in the ice and they were feeding on the far side so I got the camera ready, and sat down partially hidden by the snow and waited. After a while they moved close enough for the pictures.. There is a lot to be said for being patient, still, and quiet.

"There is a lot to be said for being patient, still, and quiet." Good for the birds and the photograher, lowers blood pressure! 
I'm so out of it that I posted my first sample chickie using my new old 1D2 in the ice/snow thread! :-[
I get so worked up about such a minor purchase imagine what a 1DX would do!
Anyway, in tramping outside for an hour in the grass and snow (+8 C) carrying this beast with 300 X2, I became aware of how out of shape the winter has made me. Nothing to shoot but a squirrel so out on the deck to my prop for this shot with the 1D2. The sensor is very dirty otherwise it seems this small investment of $250 is worth it to help judge a future purchase. What a pitiful LCD though - hard to believe - 2004.

Thanks Click. Can't believe how impatient I am for spring birds to start arriving (like others here). Also to experience if the 1.3 crop reach is worth considering relative to a used 1D4 purchase, assuming prices continue downward. I've read of folk wishing for a new 1D with 1.3 sensor so it seems there were fans. Lenses sure are a better investment!
