Bolivar Weekend - 10-31-2011, 06:35 PM

Critique: NC:

Spent Sat and Sun mornings at Bolivar last weekend. Finally had low tide in the morning and the sand bars and birds were out in full force. Forgot my ground pod on Sat so I learned that you don't need it to get prone position shots but it sure does help.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Always appreciated. It felt really good to get back to Bolivar. It will be my go to place for the next few months so I'm hoping that you don't get too bored of my shorebird shots.

Thanks Ron. You should check it out sometime. Lots of birds around when it's low tide.
