My patience paid off and a few birds came within a hundred yards. I had my 100-400mm opened up and I was limited. I felt like my arms had been cut off. My shutter speeds were not quick enough. I tried bumping up my ISO but when I am out birding I hate to go above 400. I did my best to capture some beautiful birds.
I watched a Harrier drop in on a rodent. His beak tore through the flesh with ease and I was disapointed that I could not get the position to nail the shot.
The afternoon trip was soothing. I came away with more clarity and learned a thing or two. Thanks for the pointers "Thresher". I definitly need to add the 1.7x to the wish list and I can't wait to try the 300/f2.8. Let's get out soon!
Highlights of the day...
It is time to go fishing!
