Yes, he or she is still alive but got hurt due to your shot
Nice pics

Christiand
Nice photo!
That's what could be called a full flaps extended landing
I wonder if the Ibis was coming in a bit too fast?

This has lead me to contemplate: what sound do ibis make?

Thanks Bago,

He or she wen't fine.
I looked as if the bird was struggling, however the bird knew exactly
what it was doing.
I am quite pleased about the picture.
I'm using a Sigma APO II 70-300 lens and it is too slow
for catching birds in flight.

Well Onyx, at that speed, I'd say the sound would be

Then what's next in long fast zoom?

Hi Onyx,

the Ibis sort of honk in some way.

I've had a little play with the APO lens today

I'd say it is a little slow, but using manual focus, you could probably nail a good photo now and again. You did well.

I'm going to set up my fathers old tripod tomorrow and have a play. Should be fun!

Have to paint the garage ceiling first though

Birddog114,

I love the way you are continuing to be of great service.
I am still contemplating about the VR and TC ...
You would have won me over in no second if it wasn't
for me still not being prepared to surrender.
The time might come but it isn't right now; it may be right then.

Best regards
Christian

Christiand,
Anytime, Anywhere, I'm here with all our people.

Christian Great pic!!! And Bago, he was probably practicing his approaches & landing in case he has to land at O'Hare.. (Full flaps, auto brakes set to 8, 200 kts)
