Birding Under the Influence/Cycling Across America in Search of Birds and Recovery
With several days of rain and high winds in the forecast, we left our AirBnb in Pierre, SD a day early and headed north to Kevin’s house in Washburn, ND, 45 minutes past and slightly west of Bismarck. We had tremendous […]
What’s Up?
On Saturday, I suggested that we erect two perches on the lek for the Greater Prairie Chickens (GPCs). With Kevin’s help, we put one low driftwood perch in place, and a larger vertical perch. That morning, the birds wanted nothing to do with our perches. Even worse, both perches got in our way […]

What’s Up?
We were in the blinds early on Saturday and had lots of birds in front of us. At 6:45am, about 25 or 30 birds got spooked by something and flew off to other areas on the huge lek. We looked for the cause, a […]
What’s Up?
I continue having a great time with the chickens (as Kevin calls them) and learning a ton about the birds and about photographing them from a blind while working off the rear monitor. For those of you who were worried, we took Kevin out to Drifters, a popular Pierre restaurant right on the […]
What’s Up?
We enjoyed a third straight great morning with the prairie chickens. Sunny and not too cold with about 60 birds on the lek. After two straight days of being in a pretty good spot by pure luck, both Kevin and Anita enjoyed the lion’s share of the action today, Friday 12 April 2023. […]
What’s Up? Excitement on the Prairie
On Wednesday afternoon the wind picked up considerably so Kevin decided to take a ride to our shooting location to check on the blinds. He should have been back in about an hour. Two and a half hours later he walked into our AirBnB in his very wet underwear! […]

Anke Frohlich
Anke is a very good, very dedicated photographer who has been on many IPTs. She loves photographing birds in flight and in action. She often handholds the Sony 600mm f/4 for flight. Her style is to shoot wide and crop. She rarely uses even the 1.4X TC on her big lens. She spent […]

Sony a9 iii Bird-Face/Eye Detection Autofocus
With bird’s flying from one side of the frame to the other in either direction, most of today’s high-end mirrorless bodies will occasionally (and understandably) grab the bird’s near wing. As you see in the short video, the a9 iii handles those situations “better than most.”
