The following episode is true -- only the names have been changed ...


"You know, Mildred, it's a shame that we can't go anywhere these days without running into a disgusting situation like this."

"I know, Edgar, it seems like everytime the young gulls come to the park ... "

Thanks, Steve. I shot this one from a distance of about 350 feet to get a group of cormorants that I saw on the opposite shore. When I chimped the shot to see if it was in focus, I figured that it was time to quit. I don't want to be around when those type birds are in the park.

Thanks for the comments, everybody. I suspected that it might possibly be the same exhibitionist bird that Christopher posted in the Bird Talk forum. :D

Good one Bill, thanks for sharing. Nice exposure on these difficult to expose birds.

Thanks, Steve. The 7D gets the credit for a good exposure since I was so far away, I was just hoping for good focus. Both of the above images are crops from the same image (the second one is 100% and the first is reduced a bit). There were some gulls in flight just above them that I just could not seem to keep in focus -- I found out later that I had accidentally switched from AI Servo to One-Shot AF. ;)
