Went by yesterday and could not find my birds. Today I spotted them across the pond, too far to shoot. When they saw me they immediately started toward me and ended up about 15 feet away where I got these shots. They do not like missing a photo op........The download tells the story......

5 shots

Nikon D7100 with 55-300 lens.

Thanks, Ebbote. Probably not too much longer. His wings are looking very strong now.

LOL Thanks, rlaugh. They love photographers. Sometimes there are 3-4 carloads there shooting them. They get a little skittish if you try to get much closer than about 10 feet or so. All my shots have been taken as they move down then road. I usually stay in the car so as not to spook them too much and just drive along with them as they move.
