This guy must like me. Able to get within 8 feet for these shots. JIM

Great shots, love the detail, and agree with what the others have said too

Well done on getting so close...

More amazing shots Jim... I'm beginning to suspect that that is actually a stuffed heron though. I can't get within a hundred feet of the ones in my area.

It was so frustrating for a long time trying to get close4 enough given I just have a 200mm. I have two locations I can now park at and wait for them to come. I also just bought a blind which will help moving forward. JIM

Too funny Mike. I know. They are one of the hardest to get close to. For one reason or another they don't mind my car. Shot these out my window about 8 feet away. I waited 30-40 minutes for him / her to come though. Cheers JIM

Impressive Jim! So much detail when you get that close.

That is the key to detail alright Josh. A old timer once told me "try to get so close you can almost tough them or have a 600mm like he did" and it was a pentex 600 too. I thing of beauty it was. JIM
