Ken,

sweet series & the GBH must have been sitting in your lap.

# 1, 2, 6 & 14 are my top picks here.

nice series & not fair to pick top picks.

Excellent series Ken , I loved the Say's Phoebe captures #5,6 and 14 are my favorites, but all are great except the new duck called Golden Nello that one wins the prize .

From your short outing you sure got lots of great shots Ken. Makes it very difficult to chose the pics but #13 of the GBH with it's lovely setting makes it tops for me.

ZOOM, a little different style for you on these Lots of nice ones, not sure on some comps but I do find #13 GBH very nice, and I am still LMAO on ID of #7 And how is it so easy to like #8, heck I can't even make out one sharp eye on that one buddy

And make certain to follow Chad's suggestion, that techinique is a proven winner

Ahh Ken.....your Nello and bald eagle are extraordinary. Hee hee..... a very fine series. I don't remember seeing a hummer from you before but, I LIKE him. I am glad you did the math on the 400mm and 1.4 tc.

Obviously some fine specimens...and certainly well captured BUT you really outdid yourself, Ken.
The bald eagle is like nothing I've ever seen, the Nello...state of the art!!

Excellent work. Hummer shot is very impressive. Intersting to see the coot's legs.Perfect for wading and swimming.

Stickied boids are nice, especially the Dumpling Hummie, the Balde Canadian Eagle is hilarious, but the GBH-full-frame-got-close simply rocks. I like to see when someone don't take that "blue" in the boid's name too literally.

Lil,

I saw the GBH fly across the pond and land where it did. I carefully walked around, slowed my approach when I got near, and then literally sat down beside it. I had to back off a bit to get it to fin in the frame. If you learn thier behaviors you get them comfortable with your presence and approach very close like this. Either that or I found a stupid one

Glad you enjoyed

Thanks Garen, I happy to report that, while once considered highly endangered, the Golden Nello population has recovered substantially in the past year or so

You talking to me? Yes, I know you would crop it tighter but fortunately for both of us, I am not you
