These birds don't think too much about a boat passing by. They are reclusive but a boat gives access to their favorite haunts. A slow approach works almost every time. I'm using the Tamron 18-270mm lens. They are one of our sponsors BTW www.tamron-usa.com/lenses/prod/18270_vcp...008&utm_term=banners
Theres a lake ive been to a few times this summer and once a heron flew by low and fast about 20 yards from me late sunset time around, and another time there was a hawk or something flying over our boat for a few minutes but flew away, and with my 70-300 i could barley get a shot cause the bird was so high. Well this is in Canada where we're known for our wilderness and over a period of say a weeks worth of days of this summer. But I got tons of shots of a Loon family. So I have to say I think I forgot , Really Great images Chasrich, I like em a lot
