In case you haven't figured it out yet I'm reallllly bored today.

In my current situation the line between social distancing and total isolation is pretty thin. Trying to socially distance myself from the refrigerator and liquor cabinet .

Shot this a few years ago in FL.

Those weren't quite as challenging as shooting birds in flight from a moving kayak in a light breeze tho . . .

The large birds are easy peasy compared to the song birds or chickadees. They NEVER stop moving and even at 60 fps you only get two images with an out of focus blur somewhere in the frame. However I seem to have time on my hands, three feeders and just ordered the 300 f4 and 1.4x converter (840 mm equivalent).

The Great White Egret was was shot on a small lake near Dallas, TX.

I'm currently situated on Eagle Mountain Lake just north of Ft Worth in a small town called Pelican Bay and hope to get some wildlife out on the lake this summer. The hay field across the street from my house hosts 20-30 white tail deer in the evenings. They should be dropping fawn in another month or so.
