Yep, you're right. That's the fun part. I had a little quality time with a heron on the bank of a stream a couple days after I got the new cam. He was on a dead tree laying in the water. I moved really slowly, just inches at a time, trying to get closer to him. He watched me the whole time. When I saw him look like he was ready to take off, I would stop moving, then he would settle back down. We watched one another for about 10 minutes, then he flew off (while I wasn't looking, so no shot of that). Like you said, it wasn't about the shots so much though, it was just a thrill.

Now you got me all pumped to try shooting another one :D Thanks!

When some of us try to inch along slowly, we look more like the sliding of tectonic plates. We're nice and slow, but still attract attention. After all, how can you ignore the movement of something approaching the size of a significant land mass? You skinny guys have all the fun. :cry: :wink:


I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

Yep, every bird that sees me in camo has an expression on it's face that says "Man, that's a big freakin' tree!"


You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
