[QUOTE="STM, post: 612311, member: 12827"] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]I got out to the Park this morning on a rumor that theWhooping Crane(s) had been spotted there. Well no Whooping Crane, but there wasa fair amount of wildlife out there. I spotted a very large Alligator baskingon the bank with her mouth open. I grabbed the 600mm f/4, TC-300 and D300 toget some close-up shots.
