I just love these birds, they have so much fun and they live in "families", mostly they group at seven to eight birds
1DX, 70-200 F2.8 II, 1.4X, iso 100, F8, 1/250 plus EX-600 flash with Better Beamer

Nice series. I especially like the Blue Wren. Well done.

It's Heron season in Chicagoland, apparently. Bear with me, I researched these myself so the names may not be quite right. The top one is a Little Blue Heron; the other two shots are Black-Crowned Night Herons...

I had a day of a committee meeting (yes, on a Saturday for an organization of which I am hon treasurer) but managed to nip out for an hour to the University Library and catch the peregrine falcon for a second time on its tower some 45m above the ground. The light was better than last week and the images much better, especially showing the eyes. I took 334 photos of which 330 were tack sharp - a tribute to the 5DIII attached to the 300mm f/2.8 II + 2xTCIII hand held at f/8. Processed in DxO with no PP except 0.9 pixel at 100% sharpening of RAW. Here are three of my favourites. All are 100% crops, with the bird occupying only 400x400 pixels. What an incredible lens.
