Very nice shot. I've never seen one of those fish. I wonder what it is. Is it local to your area?

Thank you, Ed! Not sure what kind of fish it is, but the water in the lake came from the bay, so I guess the fish could be pumped in with water.

I can't believe it, Shalu. You can even make a mudhen look great. Excellent shot.

Thank you very much, Mike! I was just testing using multiple teleconverters via an extension tube. The main drawback is that I lose infinity focus, so can't do it if birds are too far away.

Your variety of birds looks like mine! Except for the snow, it's gone already, no time during the week to take photos . Good captures!
