Ken,

I probably wouldn't be able to get any decent bird photos on a river. These osprey are on a calm lake. I have a hard kayak and an inflatable, and I actually used the inflatable on these pics because I find it is more stable!

Nice, mine is an Advanced Elements which is a bit closer to a traditional kayak in form.  Rides pretty well although it never seems to track straight after being folded up so often.  I do like that I never scrape my hands up when paddling since there are no hard surfaces.  The river near me is very slow moving, but always just enough current to drift me crooked relative to my subject.  I do like being able to drift up to egrets and herons.
