While looking for the great blue heron I came accross this other smaller heron. Is it a green heron? I was about 100 feet away with the Tamron 150-600.

Yup - that is a Green Heron. I was able to get some really decent Great Blue Heron shots today. Greens can be difficult to see.

Good shots!

How are you liking that Tamron?

Thanks! I love it. These were hand held shots but braced up against an old building. I'm still working on stopping the wings on my hummingbirds. What speed/f-stop/iso do I need?

Some people like to stop the wings and some want that blur. To stop I would use around 1/2000 - give or take. Depending on your equipment use an ISO between 400 and 800. I can use 800 easily with my full frame sensored Canon. Probably the most critical is shutter speed then go with aperture and ISO from there.

Thanks! A local photographer suggested not using the vr mode. Your advice?
