Mr. Lee of the FM Nature and Wildlife forum spotted me while we were both at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study area on Long Island, New York about a week ago. He pointed out this juvenile yellow crowned night heron hiding behind some brush next to one of the bridges. He watched as I slowly crawled up to my minimum focus distance and took these photos. Thank you for spotting this wonderful opportunity Mr. Lee.

All are with my D200, 80-400 VR, SB800, and the last two after I rolled onto my back, took my 1.4x TC out of my pocket and mounted it while the heron watched me.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Detail...on top of detail. The Heron was probably thinking..."I'd probably try the t/c too".

#3 for me Morris. Good detail and no stray vegetation. The eye on the last one is super. All the moist and veiny detail you could want is there.

Morris,
If you got any closer we could give them eye exams. You have done a super study here. - RC

Thank you Roberta,

I have so much fun doing this and love watching others watch me do this and then try and imitate me.

Thank you Kirk,

I think the sun and my flash did an incredible job on #6. I wish I know what I did correct to repeat.
