[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 801253, member: 50197"] OK, the Pup and I went by Magnolia Plantation and Gardens today. We got our annual membership cards. This will entitle us to go on their early opening days. They have one Monday, and I'm going to try and make it. They open at 7:00 which is about 20 minutes before actual sunrise. I was surprised by how many wading birds were in the old rice field, which they had just done a controlled burn on. I would like to get some pictures of these birds during the golden hour. Gimbal worked like a charm and I managed to get some BIF pics with the turkey vultures that were hanging around. They were nothing special, but gave me some valuable experience. I found that I sometimes had trouble getting the camera to lock focus on the bird, but once I did, it followed it very well.
