Kyle here. Heather has been busy with law school the past week but I was able to test out our new lens for a little bit this weekend. It is our first 500 mm lens and I absolutely love it. It worked really well for getting better pictures of some of the smaller birds. I got several interesting shots of some new critters we hadn’t seen before. I’ve posted some of our favorites below:
Red-Bellied Woodpecker
Northern Mocking Bird
White-Winged Parakeet
Squirrel – not a bird but he was interesting
Least Grebe
Great Blue Heron
Gadwall
European Starling
Downy Woodpecker
Double Crested Cormorant
Broad-winged Hawk
Black Crowned Night Heron (Juvenile)
Black Crowned Night Heron
Belted Kingfisher
American White Pelican
Double Crested Cormorants
Sea Gull and American Coots
Your new lens looks great definetly on my list. Like you I adore wildlife especially ducks
Thanks for stopping by. Yes we are crazy about birds over here too. Our favorite ducks are the Norther Shoveler, Muscovy, and Widgeon.
