[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 805688, member: 50197"] I made a trip to a local Audubon sanctuary yesterday for the first time in over a year. The Pup and I have visited there several times over the last few years. Normally we have gone in late fall, winter without getting a lot of decent photos. I decided to try it during spring, as the prothonotary warblers are supposed to nest there this time of year. It's a short half hour drive and I showed up shortly after they opened. There were already a lot of photographers on the 1.9 miles of boardwalk over a virgin tupelo, cypress swamp. I walked a lot, and talked to a number of the shooters, all were very friendly. Got a few photos of the warblers, but nothing to write home about. Thought I'd check out the small lake at one end. Nice lady volunteer was taking a break and told me one of the cypress knees close to the deck had a nest and the parents were ferrying food to the little ones. I set up my tripod and a little while later the dad showed up with some mayflies and a caterpillar. These are amazingly beautiful little birds that are normally rare to see in our area. I will be making another trip there soon. Mayflies anyone?
