Hi everyone been a long time. Been a little busy. But I wanted to stop by and post a few photos.

A loggerhead shrike, actually this photo was taken with a 2x stacked on top of a 1.4x on a 300mm 2.8 for 840mm, I was pretty surprised it came out as well as it did.

The shrike with a little insect. I saw it swoop down and grab 3 different things, one was a large grass hopper about the size of its head.

here is a heron in interesting light, I kind of snuck up on it

Little blue heron posing

Twins?

this was actually not selective color, but just pulled the blue channel for the background.

a black and white wood stork group.

A red tailed hawk diving down.

Here is a juvenile eagle
