[QUOTE="STM, post: 609797, member: 12827"] Around Gainesville, McIntosh and Micanopy. The Beast and mini-Beast got a good workout today. And before you ask, most of the EXIF data is incorrect because I honestly can't be bothered to change it because I use all manual focus AIS and it is a PITA to bother with. This little critter (it's a "baby", probably no more than 4 feet if that) was sitting in very small pond not 10 feet from me the whole time I was shooting the cranes. At first I thought it was just a piece of wood in the water until I got closer and saw it was actually a young gator [URL="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/stm58/media/baby%20gator.jpg.html"][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v138/stm58/baby%20gator.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Sandhill Crane [URL="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/stm58/media/red%20headed%20crane.jpg.html"][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v138/stm58/red%20headed%20crane.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Great Egret (this one shot at a distance) [URL="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/stm58/media/White%20Crane%204.jpg.html"][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v138/stm58/White%20Crane%204.jpg[/IMG][/URL] While I was shooting the birds at a distance another Great Egret landed on a fence post not 20 feet from me.
