Haven't posted in a while so figured I'd better catch up. :wink

Some recent shots from a visit to Gatorland. Watched this snowy go on a couple of fishing expeditions leaving from a tree and returning. All shot with the Canon 30D and Sigma 100-300/f4 handheld.

This one was actually a different snowy

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Joel! I really like the Sigma. It's a very sharp lens and the perfect range for the rookeries.
