Well, my trip to Olalla Bay proved to be a good one. I took my rubber boots and camera, arrived around 10:00 AM and the tide was nearly full ebb. At first, birds were scarce and activity slow, then, al the sudden . . .

Incoming!

This GBH flew in and graced me with the opportunity to approach within 40 feet a few times. He stayed just ahead and never left me. I took about 100 shots, many of which are great, IMO. Here are some of the best: 20D, ISO-200 F/5.6 70-200 F/4L and 1.4x II

They are all fantastic but I like the first one best. Thanks for sharing.

I have a Cannon with me at all times. You can't take the shot if you don't have something with which to shoot. :rolleyes:
