Here's a few from last summer using the Canon 5DmkII and 300mm f2.8 + 1.4X TC. Shutter Priority- 1/400th sec, f4.0 . I'm hoping the same bird comes back to this pond. He got used to seeing me there taking pictures and I was able to get pretty close after a while on several visits to the very relaxing spot.

This was on a very hot and humid day. The bird was airing his wings and body to attempt to stay cool.

Nice shots. These guys can get very tame. I have seen them on the docks, sneaking up behind people fishing and stealing their bluegills right out of the 5 gallon bucket at their side. :lol:

Thanks Mitch. Wow, 45000+ posts! I think that's the highest number I've noticed so far on the forum.
Your carriages and motoX shots look great!

Thanks Brian. The carriages and motox shots were all done with a Sigma 105 Macro lens. :)

Hopefully, most of those posts were good ones and helped someone out. I do spend a lot of time in here. :)
