It looks like I have a bird theme going here.
I've driven by these guys on my way into and out of work for the past week. Why I didn't stop earlier for photos is beyond me. They are docile enough to get within a decent range with the 70-200, though none of the closer up shots did it for me.
I think this is one of the first morning PaD shots I've taken this year (I believe there was one other during a snow storm). It made for a productive lunch (I picked up some much needed clothing).
These guys are huge compared to the previous birds.
I might have to stop off and try for a different composition, perhaps focus on one bird. There is quite the flock forming (or is it a Gaggle? - Do you Google for Gaggles when trying to learn more?) this shot only had a small subset of them (easily 3 - 4x more little guys than in the shot).
Note to bird-lovers/watchers: don't cringe at my ineptitude regarding birds, I will be moving on to more subjects I know little about soon enough.
