Love the Bunting despite the tip of the tail missing.

Some very nice shots there -- the colors in both the yellowthroat and the bunting are terrific.

The singing bunting is good.

Great shots!!

Nice shots

Excellent shots. I guess keeping that 500 was worth it.

haha yeah Mitch, they were all with the canon 1.4 TC on there as well, and crops

I missed part of the bunting tail on my first shot, but that shot turned out to be the best really because the eye was to dull in the other pics.... I guess I could just PS the eye from this to the other but thats to much work lol

Or, clone the tail tip off another one to this one.

Very nice shots. I live in northern Ohio, where exactly did you go?

Mike these are all just outside of Toledo

The yellow / bunting I found at the lookout at the maumme bay state park, its up behind the nature center on the trail, if you go sit up on that lookout platform they come by once in a while. I was about 10 ft from both of them

the heron /egret were at Metzger park, there are tons of them there and right beside the road, best to go there in the evening as the sun will be at your back

crane creek I went to also but by then I was dead tired so I only explored a small part, but there were tons of egrets / herons, geese, swans there, but they were off to far to get any decent shots even with a 500 & 1.4TC

I will definetly be going back to crane creek sometime soon because I want to checkout the rest of it
