We took a short drive to the Venice Rookery this morning.
The nesting area is on an island in the middle of a small lake, so the best pictures require bigger and faster lenses. The conditions really dictate 500 mm lenses and up to properly fill the frame. They can can range in price from around $1,000 up to several thousand, but I did manage some nice shots with my measely $170 Tamron 300 mm macro zoom. (For the money, it's pretty hard to beat.)
I snapped this little guy on the near side of the lake in front of the picnic shelter. 
I'll post some ahinga, red-bellied woodpecker, and great blue heron shots a little later.
