Good stuff, Jeff! We get disputes with the egrets, too, but sometimes I am slow, sometimes the camera is and when all that works correctly, the folliage obscures the action. .

I don't remember one as good as yours. And it is getting greener where I go, I can tell where they, wildlife people, are cutting it back, but in general, it is "greener" every week, so pretty soon, about the time the babies leave (and for where I ask?), the only way to take a bird's photo will be if it is a BIF.

g (good catch, really frustrating when you just can't get a camera to fire, isn't it.)

well Ginger if you ask Ben and Jeff [, really frustrating when you just can't get a camera to fire, isn't it.) that is a good thing with me shooting we are lucky here to get as close as we do if you look at some of Jeffs [doc] shots he and even Ben are to close sometimes ,thats what the monopod is for we push the birds back into focus now welll they do i am home looking up the word FOCUS so i can try it next time out --soft i can do

ok Jeff were is yours we all may have 60 % of the same shot done in 3 dif. ways the Nh you and i have the same shot the pups same good shooters think alike

What would really be fun is for you all to shoot with Harry!

You all could all shoot the same thing? That would be interesting, to me, anyway.

How does the monopod help push things back?

Do you know that if you get physically tired enough the monopod can weave worse than leaning on a car. That is a little known fact that I have learned. Of course, leaning on a car AND using a monopod, that usually helps some of the weaving motion.

I remember one day with the monopod........................ we were dancing in circles. The bird, who knows what the bird was doing, we, monopod and I, were having trouble finding the bird in front of us.

Hey Jeff,

They are all good captures with the 3rd shot being the best. You got to remember though the 3rd had the lowest degree of difficulty. The stilt shots are tough. You have a black and white bird making it a now win exposure situation and then they also move very,very fast. You did a good job on all 3 shots.
