I received my Sigma 150-500 on Tuesday and have been chomping at the bit to get out and try it.
I've never even have thought about taking bird photos before (and bought the lens more for zoo stuff) but I thought I'd try a blind hand here.
The ducks on the riverbank in town are docile because people feed them so I could get really really close without making them nervous.
Anyway, here is my attempt. please CC--I'd be curious to how to get better.
