Some Recent Osprey and Egrets

[coastalconn]

My 500 F4 showed up from KEH last Thursday, but they somehow missed the tripod collar had been sheered off. I had to send it back and should have another one here on Thursday. I took it out one morning to my Osprey testing grounds and found a Snowy Egret..

The rest of the time I have been shooting with the 300 f4 (non pf) with and without TC. There have been a lot of Great Egrets around..
