I’m almost 100% sure you’ve said before, but what camera do you use for these photos? The quality is always excellent in your photos.

The photos taken today were done with the discontinued Olympus E-5. The ones of the Western Kingbird were taken with the long discontinued Olympus E-330. If you go to the album page of the photo, you can click on the Information tab below the photo to see what camera was used, what the focal length, aperture, speed and iso were used.

Unfortunately I have not figured out how you can get to the album page from the posted image. In my case, there is a link to my albums in my signature section.

You get all the pretty visitors. No fair.

You have lots of pretty visitors down there. You just have to watch for them. Today I have American Avocets, Phalaropes and Willets and ducks that are all here on the northern part of their migration. I fondly refer to the phalaropes as spinners because they will sit in the water and continuously spin in circles.

I had a green heron, which is rare around here, hunting the flood waters last week.... couldn't see there even is a bird in the cell photo blown up

Back in 2015, I looked out my door and saw an unexpected bird sitting on my deck railing.
Great Blue Heron

I didn’t realize they were so brown. Maybe a young one?

I bought a bird identification book when we first moved here because there are so many that are different from what either of us grew up seeing. I just kinda lump all the herons into one category, though. Well, except for the night herons which we affectionately call "penguins" (because they have a stocky look while perched watching the water).

I was never for the latest craze BUT I met a goldendoodle the other day she was cool. I'd like to have one but too rich for my blood

We have one at our school...well the librarian has one and she brings the dog to school a few days a week.
I wanted one of her puppies until I found out the price. Thousands of dollars.
Nuts.

There are some grandma's that meet up on Tuesday's my park...with thier binoculars. They bird watch.
Maybe they can teach me a few things.
