Junior looks like he's having trouble waking up for the evening's hunt. Taken with my new Tamron 150-600 mm.

A nice capture Betty, what are your initial thoughts of the 150-600? Have you tried it with the 7D?

Thank you. Used it with my 7D in this shot. Have noticed the lens tends to hunt if I'm shooting a subject in a darker area. However, my 400L f5.6 also does this so I don't think it's an unusual problem with the camera or lens.The Tammy is a perfect length for the area I'm shooting (across a small canal). Am generally pleased with the results I've gotten so far, especially when I keep the lens at about f8. Image quality degrades a little at f6.3 and above ISO 800.

Hope that answers your question. Pretty happy with this lens so far.

Thanks everyone. Can't wait to have a chance to shoot these birds in this area again. They are fun to work with and only in this area for about a month or so.

Pretty shot, Betty. Probably a little hard to spot, Wasn't he? Amazing how their plumage changes as they reach adulthood.

Pretty shot Betty
and thanks for the Tamron info.
Ive been contemplating changing from the 100-400 to either the V2, the Tamron or the new Sigma.

Thanks. You have to know what you're looking for. Nature does a good job protecting these youngsters until they mature.

You're welcome. Am interested in seeing how the Sigma compares to the Tamron. Think that lens might be a little heavy for me.
