Great blue herons; trying hubby's new Tamron 100-400 on my D810

I wanted to try this lens on my camera, mostly because it is so much lighter than my Nikkor 200-500. It focused fast and was easy for this old lady to manage.
These photos were taken along the Tennessee River at the Chickamauga Dam.

Very nice photos. That Tamron 100-400mm lens combined well with your Nikon D810.

Thanks, mas24! They seemed to do well together. The lighter weight is a big plus.

Fantastic shots. number 5 speaks well for your sense of timing and patience. I have photographed a lot of these guys eating gophers and the like and I have my share of missed ones. Thanks for sharing.
