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. 1Minute

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, Last edited by 1minute; 04/22/18. 1Minute

With its crop sensor, however, one gets essentially a 1.6 multiplier effect. That being it's optically equivalent to an 800mm. Last edited by 1minute; 06/04/18. 1Minute
