This has become a favorite of mine already. Really like the pink, etc. Have no idea if it is a male or female - sure emotes female.

Great image Mike, wall or contest worthy for sure!

Agreed. Great shot.
300mm isn't enough. Heavily cropped.

This Anhinga posed while walking around the Circle B Bar Reserve. My favorite trail, Alligator Alley, was closed due to too many, umm, Alligators. :confused: So I did a different loop.

Bucket list bird for me and a rarity in south central Kentucky .....
http://joeleadephotography.zenfolio....70580713-4.jpg
Due to the position of the bird and the road I could get no closer than about 70-80 yards....I was excited to see it and get a few frames.
I was notified by a friend that he had seen a large white owl and he gave me the location. Apparently its been near the same area for several days now.
Maybe it will hang around and I will be able to get closer for better detail
Get this .... its hanging around a farm on Owl Creek Road .... its true !!!!!

Joel, great shot! I never have viewed on in real life until this year. They are truly beautiful. Can't wait to see what you get when you get a little closer. There have been some killer owl shots on this site this year and I am more and more jealous every time.:rolleyes:
Fun at the end of my dock this morning. Typically I have to drive further.... Out of the camera, no fiddling.

I like this one with both the male/female looking the same direction in the good light. Sorry so many duck pictures, I'm enjoying the new rig and the lagoon has very friendly ones that make great shots. It's a lot of fun.

Nice image! With such a good one why not fiddle to try to make it even better?Quote:

Finally, but was heavy overcast, at least he is not sitting in a bowl of seeds. I will get one shortly in the sunshine, but this will have to do for now.

Beautiful pics of the Painted Bunting and RB Grosbeak :)
Yup! And same goes for your snowy owl! I rarely comment on the shots on this thread, but rest assured that I gawk at all of them with amazement. Great work everyone.Quote:

I really enjoy capturing the ruby throated hummingbirds with a slow shutter speed and a long lens to highlight their wing speed; 500 f4 with 1.4x, f6.3, 1/160th, ISO 640
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/971/4...8623e864_b.jpgf Ruby throated Hummingbird by Bill W, on Flickr
I enjoyed both, but especially the first. The bird could use that in her modeling portfolio!
Good capture ... I have not been able to find a nest cavity although I see the birds regularly.Quote:

Really really nice!!!
So, I tried my 2x TC on the 500 f/4 II. The AF has issues (lots of hunting)...but when locked on...I am not complaining....

Excellent detail as expected!! Pre-focusing and setting the focus limiting switch both help tremendously if you are working within a known distance. You can prevent the system from extreme searching. The results are worth it....great images at 1000mm.
Thanks for the tips. I wasn't thinking about the prefocus points. The distances are pretty set. The HB feeder is down to the right of the perch for my main bird feeders.Quote:

Here is a different sort of bird shot:

Can anyone spot the puffin hiding amongst the Common Murres?

I think I found him, but it was harder than I expected. Great picture Stephen.Quote:

Thanks for looking! Glad some people are enjoying the search. I wonder if we all see the same puffin...I suspect there are more than one, but may not have the distinctive beak/feet visible (but I know one does anyway). Personally I wish I had stopped down a bit to improve depth of field / sharpness as some of the birds are a bit blurry. But I was trying to keep the iso lower but the shutter speed high since I was on a wildly pitching boat (one of the kids got seasick actually).
