Best Buddies?

Robert H. Long Park - Commerce Township, Michigan

These two juvenile night herons looked very cute perched together on this old stump, but they were quite far away.
Previously, I would not have bothered taking their photo since I was limited to 400mm,
but with this new setup they are almost 3 times larger to the camera.
I think it turned out quite nicely, especially considering ISO 1600 and 1/100 shutter speed.

Taken during my first outing with new Sigmonster lens and 1D Mark III camera.
More images taken with this lens can be seen here.

Nice sharp pic. How did you keep that sucker still at 1/100 sec?

This is amazing! The birds were hardly visible to the naked eye, yet you managed to capture such a great photo of them...
