This morning I ran up to check on the Collared Plover in Hargill. A group of about eight
birders were on the plover when I arrived. I tried to get some better photos trying the 2x
with the 300mm on my camera and trying to digiscope. Not too successful. I'm thinking abou
getting a bigger lens or a new scope (or a closer bird!).
Lots of birds on the playa with the water starting to recede.
Here's the Reddish Egret next to a Snowy.
Three migrant Orchard Orioles landed nearby.
Here's a poor digiscope shot of the Collared Plover.
