    Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley

    Thanks. If I took this trip 20 years ago there is no way I could see nearly as many birds. With ebird research ahead of time, real time alerts, bird guides and sounds on my phone and GPS to allow me to easily get from place to place it makes things much easier now.

    Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley

    Thanks for the reply. We were flying in and out of Houston so we stayed 1 night a Corpus Christi, then 2 nights in McAllen and then one night back in Corpus Christi on the way back to the airport.

    Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley

    Just got back from a trip to the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas. Spent 3 days birding there. Had over 120 species with 42 life birds which was great. Got to see the first state record of a Smooth-billed Ani which was cool. I put together a video slide show a number of birds: This google...

    Corpus Christi, TX Sparrow

    Makes sense. I was considering Lincoln's. It just looked a bit muted on the patterning to me and wasn't sure if if it might be something else. Thanks

    McAllen TX - warbler like bird

    This was taken at Bentsen RGV reserve on Tuesday. Nearest thing I can think of is a Pine Warbler based on size, bill. coloring and expected birds. The front of the eye ring looks a bit off though for a Pine Warbler. These are the best photos I got unfortunately.

    Madagascar Advice Request

    My wife, 13 yo daughter and I will be visiting Madagascar in the middle of July for about 19 days. We are planning to hire a guide for a custom trip. We are really fond of wildlife (including birds - but not a hardcore birding trip) and want to experience as much diversity as possible. So far...

    BlackRapid Alternatives? - shoulder pain with new lens

    Ben, you could try adding extra padding and rotating it between shoulders after a certain amount of time. I use the Black Rapid to carry 1DX with 2x with 600 f4II. This is about 13 pounds. It's not great but I'm usually okay for 4-6 hours up to 4 miles walking. I have added extra padding to my...

    Which Super Telephoto ??

    My most used lens/camera combo is the 600 F4 II with 2X on the Canon 1DX2. I carry this around on a black rapid strap and shoot hand held most of the time. This works really well for me. The new 1DX2 has enhanced focusing abilities so I can use all points if I want on this f8 setup. I recently...

    Canon lens.

    In the US the price difference is about $800. I guess it's much more in the UK.

    Micro adjustment 7D MK11

    Here's another option called Dot Tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zE50jCUPhM It is a different method and I prefer it. You also don't need to snap a single shot or view anything on a computer.

    7D MK11 ISO Query

    I suspect you are asking this because it shows as grayed out. If this is the case it means you have Highlight tone Priority set. You would need to turn that off. Doug
