Had a bunch of Honey Do's today and got done about 3 o'clock. Grabbed the camera and headed for the beach. Drove onto the beach at Bob Hall Pier and drove to the North Sticks and back again. Wind was up but the water was beautiful. Saw nothing working the water and the birds were all sitting on the beach. Lots of people fishing all the way to the Sticks. Those I talked to had caught nothing and some of them had been there all day.

Water conditions when I got there.

Spent most of the time taking pics of birds. Here are some of the better pics.

This Blue Heron was on the sand near the dunes and as I approached he turned and casually walked up the face of the dune. You can see his tracks.

I pulled up and waited, hoping he would turn around. I sat there for about ten minutes and he didn't move at all. I got out of the truck and slowly walked up behind him.
Thought I was busted when he turned his head a bit.

He did not see me and turned away again. I got a little closer.

I then made a very slight clicking sound with my tongue, hoping he would turn his head, but I just missed a great shot as he took off instead.

longrod,

I do have 75mm on my Canon, looking for a 300mm. Do you have image stabilizer lens? Those IS lens sure are expensive! Thinking bout going with regular 300mm lens but not sure if IS lens make a big difference or not....
