I took John West with me this morning to Willamette Mission State
Park to check out some trails. He is shown here in action as he tries to get
some good shots of a family of thirteen Common Mergansers, a couple of
Long-billed Dowitchers, and some Least Sandpipers. He will go to great lengths
to get a good shot, take advantage of cover, and use anything to steady his
camera and big lens. John is a photographer first, and a birder second. This
morning was a perfect example, in addition to photos of birds and scenery; he
came away with a photograph of an elk! You can see more of his work at John West Images.
What a surprise to read today's blog! Jim, you're the best and I appreciate you inviting me along on so many wonderful mornings of birding. I appreciate how much you're willing to share your knowledge. An example is how you readily volunteer to lead bird walks - from AZ to OR!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos John! Jim is an awesome resource of all things outdoors - - birds, backcountry, and more.
