Great Blue Heron flight

I don't know why but I like these birds... but they are the ugliest things to watch when they walk!

I like the timing of the shot and the nice warm light. Good work.

I had a very long reply last night, but $*&.... the site was being updated and it was lost ;)

Though the DOF is a bit shallow(just a personal issue....not a bad thing at all), I love the position of the GBH!

Is that a sore on it's wing that I see or maybe it's just molting?

What gear are you using might I ask, because my 1D/100-400 isn't doing very well on the focus tracking . I may just need to adjust my CF's to optimise the rig for flight images ;)

Nice shot J! What lens/camera combo did you use?

I love it, tough shot to get!
