The wet meadows start flooding this time of year and we get a fair push of birds. A blue phase snow goose. I guess these are common in the central flyway but they're like 1 out of 5000 here. Don't seem to get many widgeon. Huge flocks of Ross's. Lots of honkers passing through and nesting as well. A few bufflehead, Some whitefront.

And again the pintail. Lots of shorebirds, eagles, cranes, swans, blackbirds, meadowlarks, etc, but we'll not bore one with those. Mostly, she's been running these down and shooting from her rig. I think she could do a bit better if she put up the popup blind or hid in a haystack. Have a good one,

Cool photos. I’ve never shot a Pintail, but I think they’re the most beautiful ducks.

Man that Teal is a real beauty! I have never seen one with that much color. That Cookie really knows what it takes to capture her subjects.

We don't see the cinnamon teal very often in our part of the world (or I not looking enough). Blue and green abound. Thanks for the photos.

Lots of green winged and cinnamons here in eastern Oregon, but the blue wings are a rarity. Never nailed a cinnamon though because they clear out of here around the first of August.

Mostly a Canon 500mm on an EOS 70D. With its crop sensor, however, one gets essentially a 1.6 multiplier effect. That being it's optically equivalent to an 800mm.

I do miss my free lunch with crop sensors. I still keep ym D80 for such occasions but my D3 has become my new workhorse. Fantastic shots. Makes me want to get out here but I dont think the 80-200 will cut it

I don't think the 80-200 will cut it smile With some patience that should be enough on occasion. Cookie has had instances where a 100 mm was too much to fit in a mule deer or pronghorn buck.

Amazing photos, the fall can’t come soon enough. I share your sentiments, but Please, summer hasn't even started yet....
