More bird shots.
It's actually more of a GESO but some people seem to find that acronym
to stimulate negative emotions.

P3n + 200mm f2.5 for all of them, for the first one I may have also been
using the late Vivitar 2x TC.
Comments appreciated (unless they're telling me that the second one
looks totally flashed (cause I've already kicked my self around the
block about that), but I would appreciate suggestions about jury-rigging
an of camera flash bracket).
For those interested, all but the "flashy" head shot were taken using a
technique I call "drift stalking," in our bright red canoe. Basically I
just paddle up wind/tide of my subject and then let my self slowly drift
up to it. I find it to be quite effective for some of the larger and
more shy shore birds like blue herons.
Cheers,

Still has: one working camera, one broken camera, two working lenses,
two broken lenses, one working tripod and one broken tripod plus the
flash (still working) that fell of his camera when he was leaning over
the edge of the pier and he had to swim out (in February) and dive for it.
