This was early morning and I managed to get close enough to use my 1.4x on the 70-200 and was just close enough to fill the frame -- when it took off, leaving that nice trail of water drops. I used manual exposure to not blow out the highlights on the white feathers and a fast shutter to freeze the wings. Canon 40D, ISO 400, f5.6, 1/2000th.
