Bird Portraits - Post Yours!

Thanks, Levina! What's really cool about them is if you stand about 20 meters in front of them, in their path, they will walk right past you really close. I'm talking like about 10 feet away, like you aren't even there. Ones that have less contact with ppl may be more wary.

Really? That sounds like our grey herons here in the city. If you just sit quietly and wait, they will do the same. They easily came within MFD of my EF 300/4L which I most always shot them with. Their wild cousins in the countryside wouldn't though.

But those cranes, gosh I would really love to see them, shoot them. We do have them here but in another part of the country and it's not nearby and I don't have a car.

Wait until it gets warm and rent a motorcycle, that would be a fun journey to where they are. I would loan you mine but that darn ocean! :p
