Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff 2017

Marilynne, I just want to say that you have really mastered that long lens and do an outstanding job with it. I may be wrong but I think I remember being the one recommending you getting one years ago right after me getting mine. You really make that lens shine!!!

Thanks Jeff! Yes, you recommended it and I held off getting it. I remember after the first weekend I used it, I couldn't lift my arms for a week. I was sorry I bought it until I discovered I actually shot an eagle when I thought I was shooting an osprey.

Thanks for all the likes also.

This is the island where the Black Necked Stilts were nesting

 

[Marilynne]

The stump above was the exact location of the BNS nest. Glad the babies were born and moved before our five days of monsoons.

Marilynne, A few more days of rain and you won't need to leave the house to get wetland shots.

Glad the sun came out today. According to the news, we were supposed to be wet again today. Glad they were wrong.

GBH

The lady next to me was impressed that the GBH stopped grooming when I clucked three times. She asked me to cluck again to see if it would take off. I did, it didn't.

Can't see the fallen trees any longer

No Black Necked Stilts in this area after the rain.
