I see alot of Brown pelicans. I spent some time practising with my new camera this last Sunday.
and here's a sand piper, too.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Probably be under water in 40 years.
Congrats on your new cam Which one did you get?

...and some more.
PDP, were these all shot with the 70-200mm VR? If so, it looks very flexible. I thought you'd need a longer zoom to get so close. Or did you add a teleconverter? Or judicious cropping?
I have the new 70-300 VR on order, I just don't have the cash for the 70-200...
Yeah, most of these were with the 70-200. If any other lens was used it was the 35-77. The reason that most of these pictures appear to be closer than the 70-200 allows is because they are... in many of these shots the animals were only 10-20 feet away.
in Tampa, don't know... what is it?

I haven't been to the beach much, so I don't have many pelican pics. Just this one from last month on a trip to Cepe. I like that one is taking off, the second is just about to dive and the third is entering the water:

Here's my little bug eater... not truly wild, but exotic!

Those colors are beautiful! I caught an osprey eating breakfast in Tampa this weekend, wish I hadn't used the image stabilizer tho.

Why not? I thought image stabilization is something that would help?
Awesome shots, spitfirejd! Is that cheetah a cub?
Thanks, Dan. I wouldn't call the cheetah a cub, but "immature" would probably be the closest term...at least if it was a bird!
