Heron In The Field

[Jay Taylor]

Not sure what this one was searching for in the middle of a grass 
field; a rodent maybe? I always thought they did most of their hunting 
around the shorlines. This one was a good half mile away from the 
water.
Taken with the newly acquired Tokina AT-X 400 f5.6 . I think I'm going 
to have to try stopping this lens down a bit more. I'm also curious how 
it will work with the F1.7X adapter before I splurge on a new Tamron or 
Sigma APO 1.4X.  I think I am getting bit by the telephoto LBA bug.
