Great Blue Heron

Backlit in winter with the Nikon D4 camera mated to the Nikkor 300mm 2.8 lens and 2.0 TC. Killer handheld bird photography rig for me for years and the files out of this combo remains supreme in my estimation. The DSLR is not dead, it just smells funny when you forgot you had left half a sub sandwich in your photo backpack from the previous shoot :)
