Wow, Ted, you broke the mold with that flight shot in the reeds. Id' love to even see one.

Very sweet indeed!

Really like the flight shot in the reeds also

What a set Ted! How did you manage to keep the focus on the flight shot? Well done!

Thanks Mitch; EZ; & Zip; Just got very lucky on the flight shot through the reeds. He started to move quickly to the top of a little mound and I flipped on the AI Servo; aimed in the general the direction he was going; and when I noticed he left the ground; I just held down the shutter....I'm happy it turned out as good as it did.

Love these birds, but I rarely see them around; and when I do seems like they're moving a mile a minute and don't sit still long.

Thanks buddhasghost; We're pretty lucky with this and 2 others in the same area. Once they settle in; they get pretty comfortable, and give us lots of opportunities.

I really like pose #4. I saw these many years ago at Nortel in the west end.

Thanks ospreyphoto; have you been to Fletcher Wildlife Garden in Ottawa? You'll see another very soon.

Wonderful! I've got to get a longer lens (then need only talent).

Thanks Dan; I hear you....That's my issue..paid the BIG bucks for some Glass; Now need to pay some BIGGER bucks to learn how to use it.

Excellent series. Outstanding work Ted.

Love the series Ted!

First one is my fav!

Ted: You're right. That is one huge Tadpole that he's swallowing. Nice shots, Bud.
