    I have almost 200 pics from this weekend; during our hike on Saturday there wasn't anything else on the trail with us other than thousands of daddy long leg spiders.

    And on our cruise, alas, the Bald Eagles were a no-show. But I'm considering going back later when they start their 4 hour cruises in 2 weeks. But there were plenty of Blue Heron. And 300/4L IS + 1.4TC wasn't enough reach. But Saturday night one of the naturalists called in some screech owls. At least two showed up to figure out why this other(plastic) owl was calling them. So illuminated only by flashlight (one flashlight), even 200mm wasn't long enough to get from where we were sitting to the trees right above our head.

    This one was the best shot of the group that I took, so I jumped it ahead of line in processing this morning.

    Settings were around 1/50s, f/2.8, ISO 6400.
