This is a coot, they float on the water like a duck but when it's time to move to a new location they run across the top of the water. (Lock and Dam 13, Fulton, IL)
I couldn't resist attaching the 2x converter to my 400mm lens even though the 2 f-stop loss means I am using an 800mm f11 and auto-focus doesn't work when your maximum aperture is f11. The results weren't too bad. There are a lot of things that could have made this shot better but a coot standing on top of a turtle was worth posting. (Lock and Dam 13, Fulton, IL)
I took this shot of a Killdeer from my car. I wish I could have gotten down to ground level but if I had tried to step out of the car he would have flown off. (Lock and Dam 13, Fulton, IL)
I started the morning at Rockwood still trying for a portfolio quality shot of a red-winged blackbird. It's tough to get a shot of a whole bird because the vegetation is getting so thick. I think this is a juvenile red-winged BB. The females are this same color but they're heads aren't quite so "fluffy" (Rockwood State Park, Morrison, IL)
