Wonderful up close bird shots!


Thanks for looking in Katydid. Big lenses and telephotos help a lot to get close up.

Hi Ron, Nice photos.....those birds have just started North, still opportunity to see them down there, they will not arrive in New Jersey in any force till the second week of April.

Your Piping plover is an interesting bird........It looks like it comes from the Northern Great Plains breeding population, specifically the Garrison Reach or Lake Sakakawea populations. Piping plovers are so often associated with coastal populations yet there are interior populations and your bird appears to be from an interior population. That yellow flag that show T14 points it to that population. Your plover probably wintered in Florida.

Pretty neat to know where it came from and where it goes in winter.

With My Best,

Thanks fro the comments patrick. Tis the same here as with you, they haven't arrived anywhere near me. Still have over a metre of snow in the front yard and all the water is still hard.
Your correct on the Piper. He was banded by the Great Plains unit. As usual I have sent in the sighting report to the Great Lakes Piping Conservation Team and they have forwarded my info and pictures to the banding unit. Shortly I will be getting information on the history of this bird from them. We are quite lucky where we live as there was last year at least half-a-dozen active successful nests fairly close that we can keep a watch on. Again, thanks for looking.

Great series...really makes me miss my Canon 300mm Prime lens!!


Thanks for looking and the kind comment Jan. Yes, the 300 is my favourite, but having the extra reach of the 150-600 sure helps sometimes.

Nice set.

If they hang many more tags on the first one it won't be able to fly...



Thanks for commenting ed. I agree with you, putting 5 tags on one little bird seems overkill, but if it helps in their survival then it's a good thing. This guy is quite loaded but doesn't come close to one I recorded on the Bolivar Peninsula in north Texas which had 8 tags, 4 on each leg.
