Ken,

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

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

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

Fun stuff Ken. Dancing birds, brown eyes, who could want anything more

The Says is a pretty berd, I have never seen one. 3 close

We'll see about that

9 has to be my favorite, so much character! Overall, nice job!

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!!

I love ur IDs...bald eagle

That hummer shot is very interesting, I like it! unusual perch / angle

Filling the frame w the burd is always nice..amazing detail in that GBH

P.S needless to say winner of the set is the golden Nello

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

Awesome shots! Its posts like this that really make me want to get the 400 5.6. Seems like a great lens! Can't afford the 2.8 just yet.

Nicely done tho!

You've never seen a BE like this because you don't live anywhere near Hollywood. They are a bit eccentric around here

The Golden Nello shot did not come without certain sacrifies on the photographer's part but as it was a life bird for me it was well worth the trials a tribulations

You just have no idea how hard I had to work to get that shot lined up the way I wanted it. I had to sit there for almost 30 minutes before the Golden Nello swam close and presented itself to me

Very nice set, Ken. I particularly like the lighting, color and detail in 4 and 5. They are all pleasing though. Well... except for that big footed bird
