Title: Rouge pond(s) - GCK
Post by: Shortsighted on April 06, 2024, 03:09:47 PM

When is a flock of birds not a particularly noisy lot?  When they are a flock of GC kinglets.  When grouped they respond to pishing, but never into the wind.  A creek or a pond brings them closer to ground level and the dead wood at the liminal zone offers plenty of perches.

Great shots. Hope you get the eclipse tomorrow.


I am on my way to Niagara Falls. The weather is not promising for tomorrow. I am taking a chance.

Ah yes, 'taking a chance' ... great for the weather and for love, but down right a waste of time for a lottery. High hazy cloud cover is forecast so pretend that you have cataracts. Don't burn out your sensor. I found some welding goggles and a welder's helmet ... looks rather fetching! Good luck.
