Thanks John, I took thiss shot from my pontoon boat, I laid on the deck while my wife slowly moved the boat closer.
This seems to work really well. I have taken a few close shots of these beautiful birds this why. #1851736

Emmett thats really cool man, now I just have to figure out which is more cost effective, the 200/400mm telephoto zoom or the pontoon boat.. with my luck my sweetie would end up driving me into an allegator,lol,, Enjoy...John C. Precht #1852692
