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!!


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

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 maaaan i laughed so hard


Thanks Mr. Nello 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

As usual, incredibly enjoyable and educational (hey- that Coot does have legs--) series with what I would consider an odd setup but very effective. Were you handholding these?

Nice series, Ken. The bald eagle is quite outstanding You did especially well with the whites in the head - so easy to over expose. Oops, maybe that's a juvie bald eagle in which case...never mind.

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.


I do believe that is the 1st time I have shot a hummer in that pose before. They usully don't stick around that long with they are just hanging on. The GBH is a local that is quite accustomed to having a lens stuck in it's face and doesn't mind sitting for a few glamor shots

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!


Thanks Ernie. You'll read a lot of people on the gear forum lamenting the lack of IS on the 400 5.6 but those of us who actually own and use one never seem to miss it. It is almost universally accepted as one of the best long L glass lenses that Canon has ever produced.

Socrate


Hi Socrate,

I would have prefered a better BG for the Phoebe shots but this one wasn't cooperating and had to go for the blue skies in that rear. Can't have everthing I suppose Soory to hear you don't like the big footed ducks. They are going to be really upset when they hear about this

Thanks Mike - you should know by now that my posts are always educational
The 400 5.6 is great lens even hand held and with a TC. I wasn't having much luck finding any big birds so stuck on the TC when I came across the little one. They were just little dots in the center of the frame otherwise. Should have taken the 500 but I was feeling lazy

Thanks Tom, I've always been kind of partial to the Say's Phoebe. Not only good colors on them but they are also active and fun to watch as they hunt for flying bugs.

The BE shots were taken with humor in mind Not sure what's up with the weather but I thing that the seasons might have something to do with it. Supposed to be sunny this coming Saturday so take advantage of it while you can
