Well, I got "a" shot. :-) I wouldn't call it "the" shot, but I'll be
back. This shot may take a while to get. That was my first visit to
his habitat, and I've much to learn.
It's actually kind of a funny shot, because the bird was scurrying
down this drainage, and I got him from behind, a long line of
footstep-splashes trailing him. It's clear we were both running!
It would be interesting to see some of your wife's shots of the cat
with the 75-300 Is hers the IS version? Was she using a tripod?
I agree it's a spectacular creature! You're a lucky guy to get so
close. Of course, "luck favors the prepared" and you aced it.
Bravo again.
