Doug, your people corrupted birds are much more elegant than ours. Rather 
scrappy looking ibis or of course the ubiquitous pigeons.
As an aside, for those grumpy folk distracted by any equipment discussions, 
would you please let us know what type of strap you have
fitted to the SL2 and are the lugs damaged?

Cheers
Hoppy

from the shadow side:

now before any of youse start thinking that it takes super-stealth  
mode or smelling like a fish to get this close to a heron, this is an  
almost-tame bird at Oakland's Lake Merrit where they beg for handouts.

Technical stuff:

Camera: Leicaflex SL2
Lens: yes, I used one
Sensor: Kodak E100G
also monopod/shoulder stock.

Comments and reasonably fresh fish welcome.
