My wife and I toured Sonnenberg Gardens in Canandaigua, NY yesterday and I carried along my Olympus 100-400 just in case. I found these guys buzzing all over one of the lily ponds on the grounds while we were wandering around. Thanks for taking a look !

Thanks Louie. When I'm out at home looking for Dragons I've gone back to using a tripod with OS turned off. I feel it gives slightly sharper images. These were all handheld @ 800mm effective FL. Easiest and most effective combo I've ever used for these types of critters.

Thanks Morris. My wife had hers on for a little bit. It was actually pretty clear in Canandaigua but still smoky back home near Buffalo.

Thanks Eric. It's just light and small enough that I'm able to do that.
