Here in Florida, it's prime nesting season for many of the migratory birds and locals. Here's more pics from my trip to the local Rookery, and a video compilation.
This group of pics will focus on the Great Egrets. Very plentiful here, and lovely to watch.
And I decided to test out the video capabilities of my camera for the first time. This was one of the main reasons I chose the camera that I did, yet the first time I've tried using video with it for wildlife. I am super stoked at how the video came out. These video shots were all taken with a 200-600mm lens. If you're familiar with camera usage, you'll know how hard it is to hold a camera and lens like that steady. For these shots, I was using a monopod to help hold. Between that and the camera stabilization, they came out pretty well. I can't wait to try again, but will likely try tripod next time for even more stable shots.
Here's the link to video. It includes several other species as well that I snagged with quick videos.
