Wading Bird Wednesday - Show and Tell - 02-08-2006, 07:09 AM


Ok, today let's see those herons, egrets, what have you.
If you don't have waders just anything you want to share.

A few from me:

1/1600s f/8.0 at 400.0mm iso400


1/640s f/8.0 at 363.0mm iso200


1/200s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso100


1/640s f/4.5 at 500.0mm iso400


1/1000s f/6.3 at 500.0mm iso200


Let's see those waders!
Tim

Tim, You set the bar mighty high on these! Great shots. I love the one with the fish. I've been trying to get one of those forever and no luck. I do have an Ibis with a crawfish though. Crummy shot, but hey, it's the best I've got so far.

This is fun. I can't wait to see what's on the agenda for next Wednesday!

Tims.. love that first one with the fish.... nitromike, fantastic snowy egret.. I have one flying somewhere, but was never happy with it, so I don't usually post it.

Here are some of my favorites..

Yesterday's Blue Heron at the Japanese Gardens.. 85mm f/4.0


A Green Heron from the Japanese Gardens also...


A Cattle Egret in golden morning light..


And some Great Egrets
