and we ended with a traditional disagreement
The shadowy one very pleased they suggested meeting me after my lunchtime gym class with the camera, and us then walking back through the new park with the bridges.

Small sample of cormorants this morning. We’re lucky they’re a quiet bird.

Went for my morning walk today and collected some fun birds on Merlin app! I don’t know how accurate the listening is, but I’m hopeful I can set up with my binoculars and start checking out my local dinosaur friends.

If it is a persistent finding then it’s pretty reliable in my experience. It did think it heard a great blue heron this morning, but only once, so we think it was fooled.
Yesterday it was convinced there was a Wilson’s warbler, and even though we didn’t see one, odds were high given everyone else.

just as we rounded a bend and saw it in some marshland, I turned on the camera and started to think about angles. Then it took off.
came back around, but settled in a spot with no good angles at all
I don’t generally do heavy alterations of photos, but this one needed some visual distractions in the sky removed. I haven’t tried to make it invisible

biked out to one of the further areas of the big park and then walked along the southern trail
we saw a small flock of ruddy turnstones in the distance twice, but not enough time to get a photo
sandpiper on a beach with us eating bugs
here are a few more cropped shots
I swear, as I zoom in, sometimes I feel like I don’t have it in the shot, the camera has so much trouble focusing on them
