This is a fairly long shot with 500 II lens. It is the best BIF lens I have ever used. I would pony up for the 600 II but !!! Just to heavy for me to lug around all day now.:w3

This is the only Place in Thailand I know of to see this guy. I talked to the rangers here and only two birds total are here. Very interesting to watch them fish. They can stay submerged for a long time.

Status near threatened, habitat loss mainly.

Mark IV
ISO 640
