Hey Joel, you posted some birds I actually recognise from the UK for a change.
I've not posted in this thread for a while, mostly because we've had a bad winter over here and I haven't seen many interesting birds lately. However, I still have some shots from my polar adventures that I haven't shared yet, so here are some birds of the Southern Ocean:
Antarctic Petrel, 5D Mark II, EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM @ 400mm, f/7.1, 1/500s, ISO 100
Light Mantled Sooty Albatross, 5D Mark II, EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM @ 400mm, f/8, 1/500s, ISO 100
Kelp Gull, 5D Mark II, EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM @ 400mm, f/8, 1/1600s, ISO 100
The first two were taken from the moving deck of a ship during a typically rough crossing of the Drake Passage.
Drake Passage, EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM @ 28mm, f/8, 1/80s, ISO 100

Nice pics Andy, the first two appear as though they are going to fly out of my monitor.

JJ .... very nice images .... I like all of them ....looks like you are getting to know that 500 quite well !!!
I am hoping by 2012 I can swing getting the new 600.
Really nice shots this week guys!! Quite the catch on your last one, Joel! Fantastic!
I am taking the day off work tomorrow to go eagle scouting since the sun is suppose to be shining for one brief day and I am starting to feel better!
Wish me luck! I am not sure how long they hang around this area in Wisconsin so I hope they are still there!
