Just wondered if I could get some opinions on these snaps?

I took this photo at Lindo Lake, near San Diego on September 1. At both this location and at Lake Murray, both locations that Tricolored is known to frequent, I saw some female-type birds that I thought looked good for Tricolored among the more common Red-winged Blackbirds. These birds were strikingly dark. There was no rufous/chestnut anywhere. The underparts were dark, with some indistinct ...

I am off for a family visit to Canada (Simcoe Ontario) in a couple of weeks and we will be doing some birding. We already intend to visit Point Pelee but wondered if there are any other "must visit" sites. Thanks.

hi all. Wonderful information sharing here everyone! Lovely! I am new to the forum and have ordered an ED82, FSB-4 bracket and 30x wide DS eyepiece. :) I was wondering if using my nikon p4 and the DS 30x wide eyepiece has any advantage over the FSA-L1 + Dslr. Do comment please. :)

Ink-black ready-to-drop cloud backdrop to my patch this afternoon; backlit by blue sky and sun for a perfect stage for pylon-perched Hobbies: slate grey backs beneath pied heads glinting in the bright. Beyond: rumps of House martins appeared and disappeared and Swallows winked on and off against the dark. Falcons watched. Male brings in a small item and aerial passes to the male juvenile. ...

Does anyone know how the Ultimate Pelagics Biscay trip went and what was seen? I was booked on it but had to pull out due to ill health. Weatherwise it looked potentially good for birds and difficult for cetaceans but I can't find any reports as yet. Cheers Charlie

Promaster sells all kinds of camera related stuff like tripods. Camera store sell this brand. I had looked at a10x42 years ago. It was pleasant as I remember, nothing really awful about it. With these cheap type of binoculars, mostly sold in stores and not on line, check the pair for alignment before you leave the store. Most stores only have the pocket 8x25s, nothing spectacular....

Gone to roost this evening - a pale phase bird. Reported on Birdguides some time ago.
