Very nice. The 4th one is really cool!
Me and my photo buddy Susan went to Orlando Wetlands yesterday afternoon. The Rookery is hopping with activity.
Birds flying all over the place bring back food and nesting materials

Really great shots Pat! When you are there taking pictures are there usually alot of people around? I know when I went to various wild life drives in FL. It got crowded often with tourists.

I am going to the Orlando Wetlands again this afternoon and taking the (mirrorless) 800 prime. I generally shoot a 400 prime with a 2.0 TC and love the combo. It's light (enough) and the extra reach is generally a benefit. I will use the 800 with the TC to hopefully get nice and tight with the spoonie nest However the 800 prime is a heavy lens so will most likely switch back to the 400.

Sounds like a tripod or monopod is needed. My fastest long lens prime is a. 300mm 2.8 sigma in pentax .. being dslr theres no way I can hand hold it more than a min or two. Its a lethal weapon as a club. I also have a 500mm f4.5 in pentax thats manual and was released when dinos walked the earth.. its far too heavy and long for handheld. The tripod for it could be used to launch Rockets. It does not see much action as a result.
Good luck and have fun.

Maybe Al. I always replace the lens foot on the lens that I get because I use Arco Swiss for the gimbal head. Not sure if I have placed the foot on that puppy or not and I am considering taking a tripod even though it’s heavy too.

Pat depending on the balance of the lens and camera at some point you may want to play around with a graphite monopod. I have had some good results with it with some practice. It gives just enough support to make a difference.
