What’s Up? I’ve been doing lots of walking and swimming and relaxing every day since I got home from San Diego. I am planning on replacing some of the relaxing with lots more stretching exercises. I was glad to learn that four folks have signed up for the Fort DeSoto Spring IPT, three of […] What’s Up What’s up? Patrick Sparkman will be returning the borrowed SONY gear to B&H on Monday. Huge thanks to them for the loan. Both Patrick and I ordered our SONY stuff yesterday and should have it fairly soon. IPT veteran Mike Gotthelf ordered himself a SONY rig using my B&H link thank you very […] What’s Up? My flight home on Thursday was a breeze. I love Southwest’s Orlando/San Diego nonstops! Thanks as always to Jim Litzenberg for the airport pickup. We were home at 7:30pm. Friday was spent creating this blog post and catching up on e-mails and business. I ordered my Sony gear and should have it some […] What’s Up? It is 6:45am and we are in the car headed to the San Diego Airport. Wednesday morning was great for pelicans and also for gulls in flight. I stayed in that afternoon to pack. The Sony gear continues to amaze. IPT Updates Unsolicited via e-mail from multiple IPT veteran Donna Bourdon Thank […] Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens Yours truly is offering a Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens in excellent plus condition for only $1799.00. The sale includes the original product box and everything that came it including the front and rear caps along with insured ground shipping via United Parcel Service. […] Stuff The pelicans returned to La Jolla en masse on Tuesday morning after an unexpected two-day lull. I enjoyed Day 4 with the SONY gear and continue to learn more each day. Patrick Sparkman has been working hard on fine-tuning the best settings for SONY A9 bird photography. In addition, with more help from Patrick […] What’s Up? What’s up? Lots. Sunday and Monday were the two worst pelican mornings I have ever experienced in La Jolla. But we did well both days with the Brandt’s Cormorants and had a ton of fun at the Crevice with a small flock of Royal Terns. Sunday afternoon was a bust at my […] Stuff When we arrived at Lake Hodges on Friday morning, it was 38 degrees … As the grebes rarely if ever dance when it is cold, Ken Cook and Anita North decided to go for duck’s instead. In the afternoon Patrick Sparkman and I decided to try an old favorite afternoon pelican spot. We did […] Stuff We got kicked off the cliffs at 7:30am just when things were getting good when a team from the city came to spray the cliffs with soap to reduce the smell of the pelican roosting cliff … I mentioned to the biologist that since the pelicans leave the cliffs between 10 and 11 am […] What’s Up Though there was somewhat of a dearth of pelicans on Wednesday morning, the dozen or so that were present were in gorgeous breeding plumage and with fewer birds, it was easier to isolate them. Then we headed down the coast to do some gull flight photography and lucked out by finding a tame […] What’s Up? Monday dawned cold and blustery with strong northwest winds. The traditional pelican spot was a guaranteed waste of time so we made a wiggle and with one large cloud to the east made hay for an hour and a half while the sun did not shine. Once the skies cleared we had brutal […] What’s Up? We did great on our scouting morning. Patrick Sparkman is loving the Sony A9 with the Sony 100-400 and is making great images with it every session. He switched from Canon to Nikon last year when I did and is now strongly considering another switch. I will have six days to play with […] What’s Up I am on my way to the airport for my nonstop Southwest flight to San Diego for the IPT and more. I hope that I did not forget anything important 🙂 Contest News As below, the deadline for contest entries has been extended until February 7, 2019. The 2018 B&H/BAA Bird […] What’s Up I spent Monday afternoon and all day Tuesday catching up on the NFL playoffs on TIVO. And doing three loads of laundry. A Feel-Good Story I have always been a Charles Barkley fan. Perhaps because like me he is not afraid to say exactly what’s on his mind. Younger daughter Alissa sent […] What’s Up I spent most of Sunday cooped up in my hotel room at the Santiago airport catching up in the Avian forum at BPN. The flight was scheduled to leave until 11:30pm but was delayed 30 minutes. I did not sleep much or comfortably on that red-eye flight … I had several hours to […] What’s Up? I and the three three-week IPT participants Anita North, Loren Waxman, and Eugen Dolan — all IPT veterans, flew from Stanley in the Falklands back to Santiago, Chile on the afternoon of Saturday January 12. Loren was flying straight through to LA on a Saturday night red-eye and then continuing on to his […] Stuff I will be away for almost a month while leading the 2018/2019 Falklands land-based IPT. I should be back in the office (and back in the pool) on the afternoon of Monday, January 14, 2019. Happy new year! I should have good internet access until Friday December 21 and then again on the weekend […] Stuff I will be away for almost a month while leading the 2018/2019 Falklands land-based IPT.
