It is always best to write for advice via e-mail<\/a><\/center>.<\/p>\n In many cases, I can help you save some serious dollars.<\/p>\n Join an Instructional Photo-Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n We had another good (but too cold) morning with the Sharp-tailed Grouse. I learned that the Greater Prairie Chickens are only a bit larger than the sharp-taileds. The latter are surely faster and more frenetic than the GPCs. We are moving to a new lek tomorrow as there were too many birds and too many rocks on the one we have been working. <\/p>\n Today is Monday 21 April 2024. We will be up early and heading to a new sharp-tailed lek. Whatever you opt to do, I hope that you too have a ton of fun.<\/p>\n If you plan on purchasing a Sony a9 III Mirrorless Camera<\/a> (or anything else for that matter), please remember to use or write for either my Bedfords discount code or my B&H affiliate link. Folks who use one of my two affiliate links to purchase the a9 III will receive my .DAT settings (the complete camera set-up) along with a Buttons and Dials Guide. <\/p>\n Please remember to use the B&H links that are found on most blog pages and to use the BIRDSASART discount code at checkout when purchasing your new gear from Bedfords to get 3% back on your credit card and enjoy free second-day air FedEx. Please, also, consider joining a BAA IPT<\/a>. You will be amazed at how much you will learn! <\/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>\nLive Life to the Fullest<\/h3>\n
