A walk through the wetlands.

Mark Edell

After a long hard climb up a mountain last week, I thought a nice leisurely walk through the wetlands would be a good thing.

#2 Goldfinch



#3 Juvenile green heron

#6 A banded Caspian Tern

All are nice, the goldfinch being a close second, but number 1 is awesome.

Haha, the last one had to be included. It almost seemed that he deliberately came out of the tall grass and sat under my foot so he could get his picture taken. Technicality not a great shot but he earned it.

These, as with most of my shots, were all taken with my 200mm L with a 1.4 converter attached. There is a new toy coming my way... a Cannon 100mm-400mm L. I was about to pull the trigger on the Cannon 600mm but my wife about went ballistic when she saw the price. Oh well, maybe next year...

Thanks again for the comments.
