A couple of Black-crowned Night - Herons hoping the ice will go away and an example of a deep crop using this lens combination (hand held).

I wouldn't have known it was a crop from the PF post. Well done, thank you.

Thanks Albert. These birds should be in the southern U.S. by now. You would think the ice would have given them a hint to move on.

Superb, detailed image of a beauty!
Best.

Thanks Charlie, didn't manage to get the female though, usually they come together but only saw the male bird that day.

Lovely bif shots! Seeing those powerlines in the first shot gave me a start. Locally we annually lose quite a number of the larger birds, like cranes and vultures, by them flying into the lines.

That is a veery attractive image!

I think the OOF flowers behind make this shot. I like it a lot.

Many thanks Albert.

Here is another with the FA* 300/4.5:

The second shot is absolutely great. Love the subject isolation in that one.

I love the second one Aaron. Not particularly graceful looking at that stage, are they?
