Flying Butterfly

Photographing butterfly in flight is even harder than bees in flight. The butterflies are extremely unpredictable and there's little pre-warning that it would take flight. As good as the 5DMk3 autofocus, it couldn't pick up and track the butterfly. I had to use the tried and true method of tracking using the center point. The rate of success is low, 1 out of 20. I managed to get a few so not too bad...

I went to the Bolsa Chica Reserve this morning. It was a very bright morning and beautiful...not too cold...in the 60's. There wasn't much bird action today except for the ducks...It was ducks day today for sure!

Next to the 2012 Pacific Islander festival, wildlife appears to be not affected by the human made ruckus. A cute duck landed. I love ducks (I don't eat ducks :)).

Cormorant In Flight

People don't care much for pictures of cormorants in flight but I think it's very challenging to get good shots of them - because they are so dark. I really like this one. I hope you do too.

This was taken with my new EF 400mm f/5.6L USM lens. I guess this lens will work out for me. I never could reach this far before.

I think this is a forster's tern (Sterna Forsteri)- either a juvenile or a non-breeding adult based on the white top of the head.
