Great Blue Heron #2763
Ottaw NWR is a large wetlands area, so it's difficult to get close to these large, wading birds. These heron and egret shots were taken with a Canon EF 70-200mm f5.6L lens with a 1.4x teleconverter all mounted on an EOS 50D (APS C-sized sensor) for an overall focal length of 448mm.
