Surprise!

From our trip last week to Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Plum Island, Massachusetts:

We were at the Hellcat Wildlife Observation area, and I was taking pictures of a greater yellowlegs taking a bath across the water. Bathing yellowlegs on the left, but look at the right side of the picture.

When I got home and blew up the pictures, I found a plover was there, too! A first for me.

I love my new lens!!

Canon 7D Mark II with Tamron 150-600mm zoom lens. All at 600 mm on a tripod. Cropped and corrected with Photoshop "smart fix."

Are you lookin' at me?

Got a new lens for my camera, and it's great! Tamron 150-600mm zoom telephoto. Used it yesterday on a great blue heron at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Plum Island, Massachusetts.

So here are some of my first shots, for the bird group theme, "Eye Contact."

Awesome, eh?
