Birds from last Monday...

[jprzybyla]

I went to the marsh at Circle B Bar Reserve on Monday. I am still getting familiar with the new Nikon 80-400mm lens. Not much happening now but enough to try out the new lens. The sky was overcast so the background in some are white/grey. C&C welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Joe, you did well with the 70-300mm but these are crisp. Very nice series of shots.

Hi Joe,

Thank you for sharing. It is always helpful and an inspiration to see your bird images..

My absolute favourite is the heron portrait for its uniqueness. And of course the Black-bellied whistling ducks! How I wish I had some to photograph.
