It's Happenin' At Gatorland Now
Gatorland in Orlando is en fuego. Roseates and Great Egrets are peaking, with Snowies and Cattle's a few weeks away.

We all knew the 5D II is great for landscape shots, but it also takes care of business if an animal gets close enough.

5D II + 400mm 5.6 L f8 1/1600 iso 400, handheld, no flash

I think the Egret is just stunning! The colors in both are beautiful.

These are incredible, Lance! That second one is extraordinary! (I love the green patch near the bill.)
