from Vermont, Green Mountains via a kayak paddle

From last May, hoping to take new images in a couple of weeks.

Really nice Jeff! What do you use for equipment?

Chris, I took this with the Canon 100-400 but have since sold it. For moose this spring, I now have the Canon 300 f2.8 IS, with and without converters. If I am standing next to a mose, i guess I'll have to use a 28-75. I also had the 500mm f4 IS for some time but with personal issues that arose this winter sold it and then got the 300. While the 500 really gives the required magnification for bird photography, i am finding the 300 quite useful and also more flexible for hiking and paddling use.
