Long-tailed tailed Duck

This time of year the long-tails are all offshore, This one was chasing something in about a foot of water. Pretty ironic seeing long-tails are one of the world's deepest diving ducks.

Very difficult location.
7D and 100-400mm

Nobody goes out with a 6D and a 50mm lens to shoot birds. But that's what I had down at the shore when this big elegant egret lands 2 feet from me and poses while I took a dozen shots of him from every angle.
Taken at Venice, Florida.

I can feel the goosebumps of that situation! Very nice.

Exactly what happened to me out shooting birds at the slough. A baby muskrat came out of the water about 4' from me and proceeded to sit and eat bull-rushes as I carefully shifted my aim to him. So it may happen again, you never know.

A bird forum but I'll break the rules (again). Is that OK Click? :-\
