A couple of days after I got my new Canon EF 70-210mm F4 lens, I decided to give it a test. This bird was one of the first 5 shots I took with the new lens. I noticed that she was just standing there on top of the snow and not moving, a few seconds after I took the photo she flew away, as if she just waited for me to take the shot.
