All,
I decided after work today to brave the lovely (and daily) "pacific breeze" that was howling outside at 20-25mph and went to Don Edwards NWR. Near the Environment Education Center at the closest salt pond have been some 200+ Red-necked Phalaropes hanging around, often times right next to shore. Today I got lucky..they were ALL right next to shore..some within 2 or 3 feet of shore. I crept up to where I was right next to shore and sat there trying to get crisp pictures while the phalaropes were spinning around as well as bobbing up and down in the waves created by the wind. Challenging, painful on the knees and back, but incredibly fun. Below is one of the 12 or so decent results. Canon Eos10D + 400mm f/5.6 @ f/8.0. 1/2000th sec, EV -1 2/3, HS Flash -1 1/3. Chris Fagyal
