Thank you, jederick! It’s really an attractive bird and a spring/summer migrant for us.

Hi Jeff!
Yes, I’ve been hanging at the slough most afternoons, trying to learn my new Sony A1. There is a young osprey setting up there most days, and I’ll post pics of it later on this week! So these were all shot from the parking area at Goleta slough.

I’m fascinated by the great blue herons. Such large birds and so graceful in flight as they navigate their bulk onto land. The S shape of their long necks is typical of the species….although often stretched out during flight. The snowies are smaller and therefore a little more graceful overall. The ash throated flycatcher was carrying food to her young in the pipe nest. A very good provider, I watched her bring at least three bugs to her brood. All shot with the Sony A1, 100-400 lens, with 1.4 teleconverter, mostly at 1/2500 shutter priority.
