I took this photo just days after getting my first bigger lens, the original Canon 100-400mm zoom, and I started the blog less than a month later, on May 02, 2012. \u00a0Time flies, I guess. I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ll make it back to the Cliffs of Moher this trip, but hopefully \u00a0I will.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Tonight, Tricia and I are flying to Ireland for a week of vacation. It&#8217;s been a while since we were there and I am excited because I feel like both my birding and my photography have improved to an extent that will make the trip that much more enjoyable for me. Because it&#8217;s a family vacation, I don&#8217;t have any concrete plans yet for birding; I think I&#8217;m going to mostly play it by ear, but regardless I know I&#8217;ll get out a good bit and it should hopefully be interesting. Stay tuned &#8211; with any luck, I will publish my first post about it a week from Sunday (07\/15\/18).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Tonight, Tricia and I are flying to Ireland for a week of vacation.
