Sea World trip was cancelled; heavy rain was a little too much to risk. ; But between the storms I was able to get down to the Longhorn Dam of Lady Bird Lake downtown; I had seen a bunch of Snowy Egrets there recently at lunchtime at work. ; I may have to go back tomorrow!

Yeah, it's been great so far. ; It's making dream of renting the 300/2.8 to throw the 2x TC on. ; (1200/5.6 in a little more portable package. ; And cheaper too. ; Heck I could get the 300/2.8, and send a few kids to college[nb]In-state, your mileage may vary.[/nb] for less than one 1200/5.6) I was using a monopod for support, and considering that there was 45mph traffic less than 3 feet behind me for most of these shots.....
Went back today; it's nice only being 5 mins away from work: Elite Snowy Egret Special Forces: In flight:
That is a great lens. ; I am really enjoying the shots that you are getting. ; Thanks for posting more.
Another one from the end of October: [attachimg=1] [attachments posted prior to 4/27/2010 have been deleted by admin. be sure to link images to make sure they don't get removed]
Thanks Craig! I think the rock in the first one is underwater right now....I should go back before PM, which may be a good reason to test out the new toy which should be arriving tomorrow....
