    Pectoral Sandpiper

    At Eagle Marsh, Fort Wayne, IN. Annual visitor. Very difficult, for me, in the conditions yesterday, to have my phone's shutter speed fast enough to get sharp pics, and still have enough light to turn out fair. Tons of the birds there right now.

  20. Trumpeter Triumph!

    Trumpeter Triumph!

    This bird is one of two Trumpeter Swans I've been watching since they appeared about a month ago. They're rare here, and awesome in any case. They've been commuting between two local ponds, and the geography makes any flight shots difficult. So, I staked out the destination pond this morning...
