DocJeff and I shoot it up. Couple of Machine Guns blazing away had the locals tuckin for cover :D
We saw lots of raptors, lets see:
Osprey, Coopers hawk, redtail, white tail kite (2)
And you ask where are the piccies, well we will have to wait on Doc to see them cause all of mine "SUCK ON ICE" :wxwax. Just not enough reach lens wise.
No prob cause we'll be fixing that soon!!
I should of known I was in trouble when the first shot was of this guy

Ok I feel better now that I don't have to worry about ya :D
I cannot take credit for the stuffing, but he did look comfy in that ORV that the landscape guys use, probably there to scare off the birdies :wxwax :D

What me :crazy what gave you that idea :rofl

Nice captures. Job well done. :clap Always like the water birds. Tricky exposure on those egrets in flight. Do you remember your settings? (I usually shoot at least -EV 1.25)

Cheers
