Lovely Sunday afternoon
- May. 17th, 2009 at 10:39 PM
It was so beautiful out today that after brunch with
genevra &
akdar I decided that I needed to take my gigantic lens and head out to the park. I went to the North Mississippi Regional Park.
I saw two new lifer birds!
A Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia)

And a Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum)

Despite all the other cool birds (and a camera shy woodchuck!) I eventually made it down to the shore right across from the heron rookery. Tons of Great Blue Herons (Ardea herodias), and there were babies!

I ♥ my huge lens!
My plans for tomorrow? Terminator Salvation preview screening! w00t!!

So how was last drill? Feel good to be done?
Yeah, there aren't many birds that are all yellow so the warbler was a pretty easy id. I've got the iBird Plus software on my iPhone, so I was able to confirm the id while I was still at the park. :)
Totally forgot to pick up my photos on Friday, so will be in on Tuesday to pick them up. Hope the 120 turned out some images...
Between that and the heavy tripod my arms definitely got a workout yesterday!
And if you call between 9-5 I can also pick the brains of the guys at the store if I don't have your answers.
