Well, have not posted here before, but we have an abundance of wildlife here in South Central Florida. Okeechobee is where these photo's were taken with my new Nikon 70-200 2.8 lens. I mainly purchased this lens for sports and RC plane events, but couldn't resist taking a few shots this morning of these mighty fine birds.
Hope you enjoy! Nikon D5100, 70-200 2.8, most around the f4.8 to f6 and ISO from 160 to 200.

Thank you very much! I enjoy taking all types of photograph's and even at 68, it is quite the learning experience! lol You can see on my web page, the variety of subjects that I shoot.
It's hard not to involve birds when living here is South Florida. I also want to snap some of the "Old South". There is a story to be told there. So many photograph's, so little time.

Yes, but am looking for a monopod to assist at times.
