Stuff<\/h3>\n

The alarm was set for 3:00am yesterday but I woke at 2:25 and started getting things together for our Fort DeSoto\/Dr. Rucker outing. Jim woke at 3:30am and we were on our way at 4:02. We arrived at North Beach at 6:30. There was not much going on at my favorite morning spot but I stuck it out. I started with some nice Marbled Godwit sunrise silhouettes. After that, the few birds that were present flew off as the tide advanced. I found a preening Wilson’s Plover and worked that for a while. Next was a single Marbled Godwit who was soon joined by a few more shorebird friends. On the way out I stumbled across two Wilson’s Plover chicks and got a few frames. Then it was off to Bradenton to get multiple injections. Those hurt a bit but overall everything went well. I did look at the images last night and was a bit disappointed; I got a new 1.4X TC and it it obvious that it needs to be micro-adjusted<\/a> with the 600 II and my 7D II…. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Way Home<\/h3>\n

Next we stopped for some good Thai food in Bradenton. It is almost 3pm as I am typing. Jim is driving. God bless him. Having left my great new Delkin USB 3.0 High Speed Dual Slot Card Reader<\/a> at home I will not get to see my images for a while. But I am sure that I got a few good ones that I will be sharing with you here soon. <\/p>\n
