I finally took the plunge and bought a telephoto lens (Canon EF 100 – 400mm f4.5-5.6). This series of shots of the Blue Heron at McKenzie Marsh catching and eating a fish is the first return on that rather extravagant investment. The lens is quite heavy so I have limited ability to hand hold it and it’s probably not practical to travel with it. For this shot, I had it on a monopod.
