An hour at the Marsh

[Chiller]

I managed to sneak in an hour at the Marsh on Sunday morning. Had some nice sun, but a lot of people there scaring the birds.

Bathing in the sun, eating nuts

This guy just would not sit still. Got myself dizzy chasing him around the tree

Wow! Great shots Chiller. What lens are you using for these. The clarity is amazing! The last pic is just :hail:

 

[Chiller]

Thanks Mohain. I appreciate your comments.
Im only using a 70-300. I dont have image stabilizer, so I sometimes use the nearest tree for support.

EXCELLENT series, Chiller. Couldn't pick a fave as I like 'em all.

 

[Mohain]

Cool. 2 and 3 are super sharp and fantastic colours. What creature is it, it's not a squirrel is it? You've got some great results from that lens :thumbup:

i have that same IS on my 70-300...

great shots chiller... i LOVE #3 - the "chipmunk" (for mohain), beautifully composed... you couldn't have posed him better if he was trained!

Dude i was at a marsh today (also a new cem) with my 70-300 and i got two things, jack and s**t ... and jacks left town. (<from evil dead haha), seriously tho spent about 2 hours there just chasing birds up and down the marsh bank... think i got like 2 out of 150.... so you did real well here, excellent shots, great light on the little feller eating a nut and that woodpecker is a sweet one, how did you get so close?... i found a green woodpecker today.... got within about 300yards!...he was gone... history... maybe im just too clumsy

awesome Chiller, the 2nd chipmonk shot is the best I have ever seen.

Great shots Carl, you did great. You caught the Crackle in perfect light to bring out the colours.

These are fantastic, I agree can't pic a fav either.

Thank you so much for your awesome comments and replies. I really appreciate it.
Angel/Jtl. Cause Im limited with equipment...patience is my best friend. I will just sit/stand against a tree and wait. Got my lottery ticket for this weekend...still want a "real" lens.

Thanks again everyone.

Nice work Carl. It is a beauty of a chipmunk shot. If there was someone scaring birds, my guess is Eric.

I think Eric was busy rompin in the swamp on Taunton road. He might have been pullin a Sir Raymond....ya know...the birthday suit romp.
