with the extender really helped. I have more photos from the shoot that I did not post. I have some good shots of several tricolor herons.

Most of my photos were of marching band season this past fall. The Canon 300 mm f/2.8 lens is a great lens. It was also good to get out and take pictures of the birds rather than band kids.

I need to do more with it. Maybe I will take it to the St Patrick's day parade.
