Harlequin duck off Sunset Ave. Tuesday morning (4/5). Taken with the 5DIII + 100-400L II telephoto zoom. I need to return when I have more time and set up the 500L telephoto + 1.4x TC.

Later that afternoon I did set up the 5DIII + 500L telephoto + 1.4x TC for photos from the #4 viewing platform of a new heron nest in the abandoned rookery on the south side of the marsh.

I took advantage of the big lens to get shots from the #1 viewing platform of a snipe....

red-winged blackbird....

and a kingfisher.
