I have been trying to get over to see this all morning! This was so much better than I hoped! I am only going on the fact that you aren't a regular birder! You really blew that all away with this post.
I love your breakout shot here and I think the ospreys will always be my favorite, and the shot of him with the huge fish, well, there is no topping that. Well, we know there will be, but, for now, I still LOVE that shot.
I am glad you identified that little flycatcher, I wouldn't have been able to identify it. I find the longer lenses too hard for me to carry for a long period of time. I can do it, but, it gets awkward for me. I like your idea of leaving them in the car and going back after sunrise. I might have to try that.
A wonderful morning this was!! Great captures and I look forward to more!
Thanks so much after years saying I have no luck with getting photos of birds that’s changed this year and have got so many shots I am happy with plenty for more posts
Still watching for Osprey my fascination with getting shots of them still remains
Ohh yeah carrying that lens fir too long is draining fir sure
I was thinking it was because I am a little bit smaller than average, but,I think it is just that heavy. Also, mine is a 400 and yours is much larger.
Yikes.
Yeah mine goes to 600, walking with it for an hour or so I really start feeling the weight
