Shore Birds at Sunrise - 11-15-2010, 05:28 PM


I've been out of the bird loop lately taking photo's at airshows. Hoped to get down and dirty last weekend but the weather didn't cooperate in the mornings. Went to Bolivar on Sunday but too cloudy/windy and no birds. Did get some time to process some shots from a few weeks ago. Taken at Bolivar with 100-400 lens on ground pod.

Those are just beautiful, Tim. The first 5 are amazing. The colors you were able to get from getting low. That ground pod looks like it the ticket. Thinking of getting myself one

Somehow, you keep topping yourself, Tim! #5 brings a tear to my eye... Bravo, Sir. Like me, you are always chasing the magical light.... Ground pod, hmm.....

Nice job bud. No. 2 is my favorite. It more readily creates that sense of being one with nature by taking the long view instead of up close.
