Lovely light. Nice picture, chasinglight.

Great Blue Herons. Some days you can get pretty close.
Other days... not so much.
All taken with 6D and 400 5.6L

I'm almost never able to get close enough for anything less than 600mm (300mm + 2x extender) and still significant cropping. The GBH's around here are very skittish

Very nice series, kodakrome.

+1, very nice!

Thank you, bholliman. I guess I'm pretty fortunate where I live. I'm on the coast of South Carolina, and there's a saltwater marsh I go to that's loaded with GBH's and great egrets. Sometimes, they let me get to within 12 - 15 feet of them.

Great White Egrets. One floating down to earth, and one posing about 12 feet in front of me.

Red-Wattled Lapwing and Grey Junglefowl

Terrible conditions today, heavy cloud, mist, 1 oC. Used the 400mm DO II native at f/4 at Iso 1000 on 5DS R. This little robin has puffed himself into a ball to keep warm. 100% crop, bird is about 1 mpx from 50 mpx.
