Great shots and lighting Ray. You can't beat that late evening sun diffused by the Hamilton smog

Those GBHs are really nice captures.

These all remind me of the planes that also start descending on Washington DC at dusk, one after the other, plane after plane --- also they arrive preferably at that hour

. Great photos here again, Raymond, as always. Your lens looks like it is absolutely worth the price you had to pay for it (saw one like I think you have in the glass case in the shop before we went to the States - when Andreas got me my new 70-300mm Sigma lens - and it was 10 times the price of my new telezoom!).

that is an Osprey Eagle JTH., one of my all time favourite birds.. I hope to drive you all nuts with shots of these eagles this summer!

Obviously it was worth the wait, Raymond. Those first two great blue heron shots are ah-MAZ-ing.
