I took these at the Alligator Farm during my recent stay in Jacksonville, FL.
All were taken with the 7D II and the 100-400 II.

What the heck ? No greenie ?

Great set and awesome variety of the waders Socrate. I do like that wood stork landing shot.

Wow Socrate, just wow. I especially like the perspective and framing of the first one. Were you shooting from a blind with these flying over you?

Beautiful capture, Socrate. #2,3,4 are my top favorite. Great details with 100-400II lens. Seem like you were close to these beautiful birds.

Hi Herb. Thanks for your comments. Greenies at the Gator Farm nest in very secluded places away from the public and they aren't very many. But I did saw one. Far and far away

Thank you! The Alligator Farm offers a safe opportunity to birds to roost and raise their young. A walkway over the alligator swamp give people the opportunity to get really close to birds and nests since birds are used to people.
This is what you typically see at the Alligator Farm

These are all gorgeous shots. You really nailed the lighting in all of them. I can't pick a favorite because they all are great. Scott
