I actually got out for a brief shoot early Sunday morning. Between work and having a cold and some bad weather I haven't been out in weeks. It was slow but the birds are starting to congregrate at the rookery for the upcoming nesting season, a few are building already. Early birds!! All 5DIV plus 300 f2.8L plus TC2x

Here are a few that were interesting.

Tricolored heron, these are year round residents

Nice! The first thing I thought of with the cormorants was "Banzia!"

I'm getting really jealous of all the different birds. We just get finches and sparrows and the odd nuthatch
