Proper stick placement is obviously very important. "You can help by staying out of the way".

Nbd, just a Kelp Gull in Wisconsin that has a chick with an American Herring Gull. The usual kind of stuff.

Puffin mission accomplished. The second day came with 🌞 but also with pretty massive swells. A Tufted Puffin made an appearance as well. Not a bird I was expecting in the Atlantic.

I did this on the cheap. I relied on friends I've made in the birding world, my vehicle, and only stayed 3 nights in a hotel. (Other than bird shows). Some states I spent over a month, others only a day. Now for what's next🤷‍♂️

One of the most beautiful displays in nature (imo) Great Egret.

I'm in NJ for The World Series of Birding and had to stop in at the Ocean City Welcome Center to watch the herons and egrets show off. Phone camera, I think I may have got some footage with my big camera also.

What an experience. The last time I saw a Snowy Owl, I was a child. Happy for the long lens to give this wonderful bird a lot of space.
