Several days ago, my neighbor across the canal built a wooden perch over the water for Harry. He likes it and is very good from that vantage point. Some from this afternoon. 5D3, 100-400L @400mm.

It seems that everybody likes Harry the Heron. :) Very nice shots Serendipidy.

I wish the BCN herons around my area were half as tame as Harry there. Nice pictures.

Here's a young Red-tailed hawk. (7D, ISO800, 1/2000s, 500mm, F/4.5)

Don Haines, really cool reflection in the water. I need to take the SX50 out for a spin instead of lugging one of the gargantuan twins along. Do you use a bag/housing or just say it's cheap enough to replace?

I have a dry bag that I keep it in when not in use..... plus if disaster strikes it is cheap to replace....

The perch is a great idea! Looks like he likes it for sure... the little fish doesn't seem to care for it though! Nice job Serendipidy! ;D

Thanks Serendipidy, I only use DPP and checking I see a little sharpening and I've bumped the NR from default 6 to 8 out of 20 - really not much. As stated I find the shot disappointing becasue of what it might have been rather than knocking ISO 10K. I guess it comes down to basically, is the composition worthy enough to accept the grain and lack of sharpness??

Here's one in the sequence where it is totally untouched and I see the ISO was up to 12.8K, and it shows!

Jack, I'm with Click and others, it's a lovely image. Do you think you may have reduced your shutter speed to perhaps 1/250th and perhaps not had to hit the 10k iso range?

Cool Muscovy Duck shots! Someone let a 'semi domesticated' one go at one of the local lakes.

Nice Waxwing, Jack!

Here is a Western Bluebird that took a moment to pose for me.
