I’ve got some bird shots to share with you in this newsletter, but first let me give you a couple of tips on excellent cameras and lenses that friends are selling at good prices.\u00a0 Paul Denman at pddenman@att.net has a Canon 1 D Mark IV\u00a0 with extra batteries for sale.\u00a0 Sylvia Garcia at sylvia@sylviagarcia-smith.com has a Canon 5D Mark II and a Canon 500 mm lens plus a Canon 7D and a teleconverter for sale.\u00a0 She says it’s all listed on her Facebook page (Sylvia Garcia).\u00a0 Let me know if you have any difficulty reaching these folks.<\/p>\n

Now, here are some captures from recent days near Edinburg, Texas.\u00a0 Click on an image to enlarge and sharpen it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wood stork images have been tough for me to come by, so I jumped at the chance to try for these guys as they passed through south Texas on their fall migration.<\/p>\n

All of these photos were made with the Canon 7D Mark II and Canon 500 mm lens on a Feisol\u00a0 tripod with Wimberley head.\u00a0 I had to use ISOs of up to 1600 as the sun was coming up and then reduced it as quickly as possible to 500.\u00a0 All this was to sustain sufficient shutter speed to capture the flight action (1\/2000 second or faster).<\/p>\n
