Jefferson Shank 2,678 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Congrats on you new camera! Looks like you’re off to a great start. I used to use a Canon Powershot G3X, but now I have a Canon EOS 80D with a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS I USM Lens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh wow, that’s a pretty good upgrade. The powershot is a point and shoot right? Using a DSLR should up your game quite a bit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aidan B 1,518 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Cold, Rainy, Early morning fishing trip where the fish weren't biting, The birds sure made up for it though! I soooo wish I had my camera for this trip. https://ebird.org/checklist/S81585488 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron 840 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I decided to go later to this location as usually I go at/before sunrise, and wanted scout out if I should bring my good camera tomorrow. And learned that I should have brought it today! A huge flock of lifer snow buntings flew over, which was really unexpected. Also had very friendly downy woodpecker follow me around. Hoping the excitement keeps up tomorrow when I bring out the big guns, but I highly doubt I’ll ever see another flock of snow buntings at this location. https://ebird.org/checklist/S81747404 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PaulK 667 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I'm trying to add to the scientific record by adding lists when I go out to the park for a few minutes, but it's going to mean a lot of very boring lists. https://ebird.org/checklist/S81764109 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Palo Verde is the best spot (and very underrated) in the entire state. It's split up into individual tracts, and there were pairs dusting in 4 of them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
