A Little Catch-up, 01/11/24

Between my end of year post and the great birds I had over the past weekend, I’ve got some catching up to do as far as photos go. Here’s some additional shots from the past couple of weeks. I spent some time in the black dirt making sure I got Lapland Longspur for 2024 – I was able to photograph a couple of them this past Saturday morning. I’ve also been trying for gulls, but I’ve only been able to find the 3 expected species. That didn’t stop me from taking photos.

  2. Very nice! I love the blue of the Eastern bluebird, I can feel the power of the bald eagle, the song sparrow looks like an owl’s lost cousin, and that is an interesting startled look of the ring-billed gull!

  3. Matt, where in the black dirt area did you find the snow buntings & lapland longspurs? Thanks.
