Hooded Mergansers

Thursday morning there were at least 30 Hooded Mergansers at Old Reid. I really wanted to try out my new camera body, a Canon 5D Mark III, but the light was not good….it was overcast and windy.
Here’s a few images…despite the poor conditions, the 5D did well, even at iso 1200.

Coot & GHO

A couple of images from the weekend….an American Coot at Old Reid Park:

Reid Park Long-Tailed Duck

This female Long-Tailed Duck was seen a couple of days ago at Old Reid by Doug Overacker.
 She was back tonight when we checked.

Some pics from today’s outing at Eastwood Lake. There were at least 6 Red-Necked Grebes…

Squirrel in the Sunshine

David caught a great shot of this squirrel sunning on a branch on Baldwin Lane. It’s my favorite shot of the day!
