Thanks to you both! If it is the same pair they will nest in a more boat accessible area! :woohoo:

Fun series Dori ..... Using the teleconverter will take a little time to get used to, like all new toys. Have to say that I got excited when I saw the Lake Tarpon subject title. I grew up on Lake Seminole (Largo) and my father still lives there!

Great shots Dori... :judge: :judge: :judge:

I have found a nesting pair on Lake Harris but they are too far off the water for me to really "get" them. I was playing with the teleconverter a few weeks ago. The advantage of the longer lens is negligible when used on a boat due to the degradation of IQ and the movement of the boat. It might make an interesting experiment to see which is better - the teleconverter image versus cropped telephoto image. I'm thinking they are pretty close in detail.

Thanks much!!!

I hope this is part of the nesting pair. I will be able to get them without the teleconverter as they are fairly close to the water!!!
