"Hey Man, You Got Bugs?!" This Eastern Kingbird will have to wait a little longer, all I had was a granola bar... So, as you can see by the fuzzy photos, I can download once again. I went out and purchased a new card reader. This time an external from
SanDisk,
ImageMate SDDR189. It is CRAZY fast, much better than the internal reader and of course faster than plugging the camera directly. Maybe someone from
SanDisk will read this and send me a few memory cards...hint,hint. The folks at
Canon still haven't sent the 800m lens (I'm waiting!)
That lens would have been good for spotting shorebirds at
Ottawa! I have a good number of "evidence" photos of the shorebirds we spotted, but with a 300mm and even with the 2X converter, those shy birdies are still little tiny fuzzy dots. Oh yeah, use a tripod with a
teleconverter (Dave didn't ,
stoopid birder.)
We saw a bucket load of
birdy babies out in the marshes on Saturday and Sunday. Though I've only looked at Saturday's pics so far. Not to mention the rarities out there!
Help!
We spotted this scruffy individual and he has me more confused than I normally am. Really. At first sight I thought it was a juvenile Yellow Warbler, but after looking at the photos, that ain't right. Possibly a Scarlet Tanager as they do molt this time of year before migrating to warmer climes.Give me your opinions!
Here's another pose of this mystery bird... (Oops, no it's not! I put the same photo in and I can't get it out!!)
Until I get caught up...once again...I'll be saying nighty-night!
