20fps really came in handy here...this Egret was trying to get this fish rotated around to swallow it up...caught it mid air. This was in crop mode at 400mm...but not cropping after shot,
I was pretty darn close to this one. As close as we got to the birds...the gators let us get too close.

Don't know about building shots Vinz but this looks great to me. I could see it in cooperate advertising brochure.

Another selfie from a ride called Captain Ahab. Arguably one of themes scenic rides I'v ever done....but then again, they're all mind blowing here in Moab.

Last one looks like the beginning of the trail to the Great Gallery in Canyonlands, well kinda. Beautiful place, envious of your ride.

Thanks Robert.

Thanks. I hope everything falls together with the way I envision things but I know how that has worked out for me in the past so...

Here's one more shot of the young bald eagle. I had moved forward some to get closer but alas, the shots I did get were backlit.

More I think about this one I think GOLDEN EAGLE.

I wondered if you could do that...and I wondered if they would fly away from the moving one...I have a lot to learn about the BIF part...those were more misses than hits, but I managed to snag a few. I will keep that in mind next time...these water birds were in the shallows right next to the trail...anything came near they took flight.

This Egret did battle with his dinner for a while...so long so, that I got bored and kept walking, this snake put up a hell of a fight...I liked the defense mechanism of wrapping himself around the beak of the Egret. It worked for a while, but the bird finally just started thrashing its head all over, I am guessing just to wear the snake out.

Thanks for the great tips. Now I just need to find someone willing to be my bird flusher outer.

I'm willing I'll even buy the the rabbits.

85 GM. This lens still floors me after all this time.

I have a long way to go in learning even just the birds local to me.

Oh, the bird you posted above may be a white heron instead of an egret. I'm going by the length of the neck.

Great Egret is the official name...also referred to as a white Heron.

Ah, thanks. There are so many varieties and I'm far from an expert.

as am I...but my local bird nerd ornithologist recommended this site: https://www.allaboutbi​rds.org/ and then he helps me ID if I can't find them.

Saw this Snowy Egret, but the red markings around the eyes fooled me...

I was thinking the same thing, Golden Eagle...but I am not knowledgeable enough to make guesses...

yeah, that greenhouse was rough once it got dark! But we had some good light before the sun went down.
