Went to Wolfe Island on this morning, found one Snowy in the field. Even during inclement weather, opportunities present themselves...if only I make the effort and get out there, when I do...I most always get rewarded.

Common Redpolls

Went out to Wolfe Island on November 29 to look for Snowy owls without any luck, but did nicely with these Redpolls. Driving slowly on one of the smaller roads and seen a flock just on the other side of the fence. I pulled over, shut the engine off and rolled down the window "in case" and sure enough, I was rewarded by this pair.

Ok...got a deal on a EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM while in Toronto and I simply can't wait to start exploring what this lens is capable of!

Also plan on digitizing some of my 35mm b&w negatives and slides with the use of a lightbox and this lens....should be fun!

Stay tuned for more!

These are *not* the easiest birds to photograph! Got down and low for this, and waited, and waited, and waited.....finally!

Herons are typically quite shy birds.
Took me almost an hour to get within about 50 feet as this GBH was pruning itself perched on a tree leaning over the water.
