Gulls, Cormorants, and Terns.
« on: July 08, 2009, 05:41:07 PM »
Haven't shot many photos lately and this is what I got while fishing a few weeks ago with Huntnphool, M_ray, and Cohoho.  All shot with the 70-200 f2.8 for those interested.  The cormorant has a cool wired tracking device on its back.  That must be fun to fly around with.  Can't wait for the velvet to be done growing...

I'm kind of limited with my little 70-200 but I'll make due.   ;)  Besides, now I know how ricochet feels.  :)

Those are really great pics.   :tup:

Too bad that's not a pack of C4 on that Cormorant. ;) 
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Hey, now I know where all the Anchovies went too....................... :chuckle:  Those turned out cool...  Something to be said for a guy that can take pictures of a moving bird from a moving boat.....  Heck - I couldn't even see the stinking things and he's clicking pictures...

Great pics, Shawn.  It shouldn't be much longer before the antler growth is finished, until then , thanks for the bird shots.
