Shot while looking for river birds over the holiday. Lighting sucked and distance was a bit "out" there for the 100-400, but a fair amount of detail remained.
Linked to huge version just in case:

Yeah. I think my other half would kill me if she has to pack any more 'standard' gear in her pack just so *I* can haul a bazooka around - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife
