What’s Up?<\/h3>\n

After photographing birds in Iceland for 19 of the last twenty days — we had one full day of travel, I opted to take the last morning off to get rested up and to pack for the long trip home. We took the ferry to Akureyri on Monday afternoon and overnighted there after a late, great dinner. <\/p>\n

Today is Tuesday 1 August. We are leaving the hotel at 8am and driving to Reykjavik. Once we check into our hotel there, we will be heading for the loons for one last shot at fame. On Wednesday morning I get picked up at 7:00am for my airport transfer. I fly to Boston at 10:00am Iceland time, enjoy a 6+ hour layover there, and fly to Orlando arriving at 7:23pm if all goes as expected. Jim will be picking me up there so I should be home at about 9:30 Florida time. It will be a very long travel day, about 18 1\/2 hours from door to door. <\/p>\n

On Sunday afternoon it was incredibly windy. We were not doing very well so I took a long walk down an ATV track and discovered a new spot with a bonanza of flying puffins. After a very good morning that included almost 2000 Black Guillemot images, mostly flight shots, I wound up creating almost 8,000 images for the day. Today’s post details the afternoon flying puffin circus. <\/p>\n

Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, I hope that you too have a great day.<\/p>\n

You can find some great photo accessories (and necessities, like surf booties!) on Amazon by clicking on the Stuff tab on the orange\/yellow menu bar above. On a related note, it would be extremely helpful if blog-folks who, like me, spend too much money on Amazon, would get in the habit of clicking on the Amazon logo link on the right side of each blog post when they shop online. As you might expect, doing so will not cost you a single penny, but would be appreciated tremendously by yours truly. And doing so works seamlessly with your Amazon Prime account.<\/p>\n

If an item \u2014 a Delkin flash card, or a tripod head \u2014 for example, that is available from B&H and\/or Bedfords, is also available in the BAA Online Store, it would be great, and greatly appreciated, if you would opt to purchase from us. We will match any price. Please remember also to use my B&H affiliate links or to earn 3% cash back at Bedfords by using the BIRDSASART discount code at checkout for your major gear purchases. Doing either often earns you free guides and\/or discounts. And always earns my great appreciation.<\/p>\n
