    Love that egret shot!

    If you don't mind sharing that sort of stuff - what settings did you use for that photo?
    (If you prefer not to share, though, no problem)

    WOW! My dad has been a birder all his life and I have been dragged along for the ride most of mine. I know how close you can get to theses guys and getting shots like theses don't just 'happen'.
    I bow down in awe!
    The last one looks like a great yellowlegs, but its hard to tell the size from the picture.

    No problem sharing settings, I should post them anyway....

    For this shot I switched from Manual to Aperture priority
    F7.1
    ISO 400
    1/1250 shutter speed
    exposure bias value -.33 ev
    hand held
