Dateline: 21 May 2022
Too much great content from this past weekend to reasonably contain in one, or even two, posts. Keeping things going here with Red-winged Blackbird from Saturday, at Gull Point.
Saw Osprey, gulls, swallows, Killdeer, sparrows, Spotted Sandpiper, Dunlin, Caspian Tern, and Least Sandpiper, among others. Great lineup, but no exotic shorebirds this weekend.
Spent most of the time enjoying the numerous Red-winged Blackbirds.
The true meaning of pain: Nikon D850 autofocus. Truly awful for quickly and accurately focusing on moving birds. Good thing for luck and near limitless digital exposures.
While the hit rate’s maybe 10%, only need a couple decent shots for a post to come together.
Next up, a very unusual Northern Flicker sighted near the point! Stay tuned.
