My Favorite Bird Shooting Place

Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, CA

My favorite bird shooting place is Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. It is particularly exciting when you get an opportunity to capture a new bird for your collection. At sunset today, this immature Reddish Egret flew within range. This was one of those situations when a f2.8 lens would have come in handy.

Great place to shoot birds in that nice light, yes I agree with the f2.8 lens, but they are really expensive from Canon! There´s one cheaper: Tamron AF 2,8/70-200 Di LD Makro Canon and with a TC you get also 400mm!
