Canon 600mm f/4 L IS II and the Canon EOS 7D mark II.
Within a one month span there is a fairly constant rotation on new chicks hatching, offering some cute image opportunities of our fluffy friends. It is not often one gets to photograph young shorebird chicks!

ISO 1000 | f/5.6 | 1/3200 sec. | Manual mode | AI servo rear focus
Canon 600mm f/4 L IS II with 1.4x extender and the Canon EOS 1DX mark II.
Since the parents stay close by to fish and bring back food to the young, there is action galore happening a few feet from the shore. With a little bit of insight from me, you will be able to recognize the moment when birds are about to bank and create your own banking shots, often a few inches above the water.

ISO 1000 | f/8 | 1/4000 sec. | Manual mode | AI servo rear focus

I had long tried to create images of Black Skimmers skimming with little success. Since I discovered this colony, I was able to create quite the portfolio of skimming Skimmers. Would you like to do the same?
