May 16, 2010 17:02 | #4 Forsythe has an abundant number of birds and species but it's sometimes tough to shoot there even with 400mm. There is a TON of ground there. I'm renting a 500 and putting my 1.4 on it just to see how much better I can do. 70D, 7D Mark II

A good place to shoot with a shorter focal length is the drainage ditch about 1/2 way through Wildlife Drive. When the tide is low, the terns and gulls will congregate and neither of them are skittish. There was also a black-crowned night heron that always stood on the guardrail last year and was pretty tame. Some of the egrets will stay in the water close enough to the pipe to shoot. 70D, 7D Mark II

The rock pile near the 1st or 2nd pulloff is good, too. The birds don't spook as easily if you don't rush right out of your car. It's so close to the road the birds get accustomed to humans. If you're patient (I'm usually not) the egrets and ibises will offten fly right across wildlife drive at a very low level. I never heard of Heislerville Wildlife Management Area. How is that location, keeping in mind the longest lens in 55-250. Have you had much luck there? Canon XSI, EFS 15-55mm, EFS 55-250mm, EF 50 1.4, Canon 100-400

Here's a link to my Heislerville thread. It was tough, at times, with my 400. You should try lensrentals.com because I think a 400 is very inexpensive to rent for a week. 70D, 7D Mark II
