Flying Loon: The versatility of supertele zooms


In a post on the 500 5.6 thread of the Nikon forum, Morris pointed out the versatility of super tele zooms vs prime. This image is an example.

As a loon makes its run off the water to become airborne, it is uncommon for it to choose a path that brings it close by. But that is just what this loon did, early one Saturday morning, last mid-August.

As it paddled/flapped toward me, gradually gaining air-buoyancy, I paused shooting, cranked the focal length back and resumed shooting. This is the 27th frame, in a 29-frame sequence.

Just before it passed by me, the loon turned, bringing the plane of its face. into the depth of field.

With a prime lens, I would have missed this shot.

This male loon is leaving the cove, after it intruded into the immediate area of a nesting pair and their two chicks. Within a minute after this loon left, the male of the nesting pair took to fight after it, probably to make sure that it left the pond entirely.

Unmated male loons very commonly intrude into the area where a loon pair is nesting. They intimidate the nesting male and will try to kill the chick(s) if the chick is young enough (defenseless) and they can get to it.
