The fog was quite thick when I arrived; the visibility was perhaps 100 yards. Over time, that increased to 200 yards, and then, off and on, to 93,000,000 miles as the sun peeked in and out.

Very early on Thursday morning, someone dumped a load of stale bread, pretzels, and apples on the grass at the parking circle near the pier. When I arrived for my walk, there were lots of Boat-tailed Grackles. But when I finished there were several Turkey Vultures dining on bread and apples. Go figure. […] What’s Up?

I photographed down by the lake with the 200-600 and the 600/2X, both with the a7r IV. It was not a great session. I […] Need System or Upgrade Advice?

A strong east wind on Sunday evening made things difficult, but on Monday morning that same east wind led to a ton of great flight photography. There were about a zillion Sandwich Tern fishing just offshore of the sandbar. The flocks were moving quickly as they followed the schools of bait. I spent […] What’s Up? The Sandbar really rocked late on Saturday afternoon. We had lots of great bathing and flight photography, mostly with Sandwich and Royal Terns along with a flock of about 500 Red Knots and a tame American Avocet, only the second one I have ever seen at Fort DeSoto. Photographing on the sandbar is […] What’s Up? Shonagh and I enjoyed two excellent sessions at DeSoto on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. I am getting quite used to the SONY 600mm f/4 GM lens.
