American Avocet lift-off
Our neighbor, Millie, organized an airboat outing on the Great Salt Lake for us and some of her friends. I made a good use of the chance to test the VR capabilities of the 70-200. Bird photography requires more throw yet, but it was a fun recon mission. I'd like to go back in August when the phalaropes are migrating through, or in October for the 10,000s of eared grebes. Wouldn't that be something?
Cathedral Gorge, Nevada
Back in March, for spring break, we went to Vegas, saw O, and wandered back across US Hwy 93 to Ely, and then across US 50 to Delta, near the Japanese internment camp, and into the Mormon vatican-by-the-lake. Cathedral Gorge is about 1/2 between Las Vegas and Ely. We were there at high sun, good only for a recon mission, which was probably just as well or we'd have had a long-drive in the dark after I got through with all the cool things to see. Picked up a life bird, the banded-tail pigeon, cooing on the rim of the gorge.
