At Mont-Tremblant, in the Laurentians Region.

It's a beautiful location for kayaking, biking, hiking and wildlife watching.

Thanks for the link. That's truly impressive and to think I was in Montreal and not that far away. We had thought of driving the motorhome for our sons graduation at U of M but all my unfinished jobs nixed that. So the next graduation .... nope, he's headed to London, UK. I've also heard of a great wildlife park out that way too. Maybe we can still do a cross-country someday soon! :'( ;)

You are blessed with beautiful landscapes!

This is pushing my 5DSR and 100-400mm II to the limit 1/5s, iso 6400 at 400mm hand held - it's not that is a fine photo, it's a miracle I got any image at all. (The only processing is DxO with PRIME noise reduction.) I didn't know what it was until I processed it, it was so dark - I thought it was a pond heron. But, it's a blackcrowned night heron in the middle of the night!

Wow, that is indeed pushing the limit. Perhaps I can also go lower speeds than I've been willing to try. Back when I was frustrated shooting backlit in winter I tried different things and imagined I needed to stay with higher speeds with the 400DO and extenders, basically sticking around the 1/FL old rule.

For the hell of it, I show two more versions. The top is what it actually looked like to the naked eye - the camera over-exposed it by 3ev (eyeballing it). Bottom is it pushed by 2ev to show that the 5DSR at iso 6400 is not outrageously noisy. The processing is just DxO + PRIME noise reduction with modest sharpening at USM of 100% + 0.9px readius.

AlanF,
Great picture!
Even greater technique!
At 1/5 seconds hand holding the largish camera and extended lens, I'd say that is quite a feat. To get a number of shots that were sharp for such a high resolution photo without significant blur, now, that is a FEAT!
We must all do this.
Congrats.
