A Mixed Bag Of Wildlife

[Speed]

While out doing inspections today, I saw, and managed to photograph, birds, fish, turtles and a nutria.

Heck of a day.

The cardinal shot is heavily cropped.

The bass and turtle are reduced for PR.

The nutria is about a 50% crop, then reduced for PR.

The turtle was taken with the Coolpix 5700. The other three were taken with the D200.

LOVE that nutria. I haven't seen one in years.

I knew we had them here, but this is the first one I've ever seen. I was tickled to be able to get some shots of it.

This sucker was big. I saw him walk into the pond where I took this. I'm guessing he weighed about 50 pounds.

Glad you liked the shot!

That is a pretty cool shot Speedo! Is that with your 80-200?
