LOST FOLDER FULL OF BIRDS
SELF | Feb.14, 2011 | swampsniper

Posted on 02/14/2011 6:32:36 PM PST by SWAMPSNIPER

I came home from the gator farm one day last April hot, tired and ready for a nap. I dumped the memory cards to my remote hard drive for later. I only ever processed one of the 2 folders, just now stumbled over the other one.

It's almost time to go back again!

From last April.

Roseate Spoonbill Platalea ajaja

Tricolored heron Egretta tricolor

Great Egret Ardea alba

I think I used the Sony SAL75300 for these, I've got 2 300mm lenses. The Minolta "Big Beercan" is a better lens but it weigns a ton. I think I was traveling light that day.

The Sony lens gets a lot of bad press but it's not really that bad.
