I went to the lagoon yesterday to see if any new birds were about. No new birds, but I had fun shooting some of the residents. It has been so hot the past few days, it was nice to spend some time close to the ocean. Enjoy the birds and thanks for looking.

Great looking set. My favourites are the curlew and the tern in flight.

Very nice Chuck, but I think you should be getting more detail out of that combo. Did you apply NR to the whole image? Have you MA'ed the combo? ~ Ron

Great shots! I see no lack of detail. But I think #4 may be a Yellowlegs, not a Willet. Willets' legs are gray.

Ron: I am a little surprised at your comment regarding the lack of detail in these images. I have been testing the 400 DO II for over a month and have found it every bit as sharp as my 500/4, which is the sharpest lens I own. As soon as I received the lens, I checked the micro focus with the x1.4 III extender and found it to be dead on. No post processing was applied to any of the images other than what DPP 4 applied during conversion from RAW. If these images are not up to your expectations, the only excuse I can think of is that they were hand held and each was about a 50% crop. At this point, I would blame any lack of IQ on operator error and not the equipment.

Good catch. I agree, this is not a Willet. In addition to the legs, the wing markings are a give-away. Thanks for the correction.
