Spring as we know it is almost here and soon we will busy soaking up all of the day that we can...that's all 20 hours of the light a day that we will have.
Canon 1D Sigma 120-300 with 2x at 540 mm ISO200 F13 1/1000 I been have following a flock of Snow Buntings around last week, even to a point where I was stuck with my ATV for three hours last weekend in the deeper snow. no photos taken Then it snowed again and the winds started to blow the last three days...will spring ever come we thought. Today as I came home for dinner I noticed a few flying in arround the hill we pass....to fast to take photos of for sure...Well it must be that the Bird God figured that "Doug you deserve a treat today"....as I sat down for my sandwich and looked out the window there they were on the little grass showing that we have right out side the front window. Go Figure....and go get the gear With a little extra budgie seed that we had from last summer they were more than happy to stay and pose for myself and my son for an hour. They are actually now roosting on the snow bank at the door out of the wind. In amongst the flock of 20 or so Buntins one lonley cousin a Lapland Longspur. I think it's going to be a good year. and a early monring tomorrow As always comments and suggestions welcome. The McLarty's :)
