Just kidding, drug abuse is no laughing matter.

Anyways...Loving the 100-400mm. Super fast AF.

Great shots, first one is best. Great color and composition. Ed

Nicely composed

Yeah, it very addictive.
Once you shoot once, you cannot stop ... and you keep on wanting a bigger hit.
You will be soon hanging around with the Osprey addicts in the bushes soon.

Coastalconn already approached me and asked if I want to buy a camo lens cover. I just said no.

Yeah, watch out for those dealers. They really want you to get hooked ... then you will be painting your face in camo, wandering through marshes to those hidden places to satisfy your cravings for Heron !!!

Excellent! Since I've discovered they inhabit the refuge near me, and what they actually are, I can't stop either. I've gotten to where I can spot them easily now......... but it's always on the far end! One of these days, though..................

very cool shots.

I had a hard time finding them until they took off. Then I chased them down with the boat.

I'm still kicking around the kayak idea.

Well it is certainly the more affordable option but not exactly the fastest. I literally chased a flying eagle half way across the lake the other day. Fun fact, eagles can fly pretty damn fast.

My fast-boat, fast-living days are over. I do good just to get to the car to drive out there!

100-400 I think gets a bad rap. Once again, in the right hands..............

Very nice shots! Addict

Are you tempted to keep it? Purchase it? You may get a real nice price on it since rumor has it there is a new version coming soon.

Nah, I am still planing on getting that tamron.

Maybe I do need to start a 12 step program for bird addiction. I could certainly be the president of that one. once you are dressed in camo from head to toe and laying in the mud at low tide, you really start to realize there may be a problem I like #3, btw..
