Lucky, found him in early morning sun!
Jerryc, kind of agree, nesting on ground does seem risky at best no matter where they are. Ed I still don't understand why dogs need to be on leashes and cats can roam. Although if I had a beloved cat I certainly wouldn't let them roam free anymore than I would let my dogs out unattended, if nothing else but for their own safety.
For what it's worth and I am far from any kind of professional or good amateur photographer..but I have Nikon P900, P950, P1000, Panasonic DZ-FZ80 and the Sony RX 10 IV. I photograph wildlife. In low light the, Sony RX10 IV is the best, but only if you need a limited zoom. I find the Sony menu not real intuitive though. My choice for most versatile but you need really good light and to be able to stabilize the camera is the Nikon P950 or the Nikon P1000. Because all of these cameras mentioned above excel in certain conditions I usually carry two...the heavy lift and weight though is the P1000...but the range in perfect conditions is hard to beat if you are talking bridge cameras. There are good points and not so good points with all them...you need to decide what works for you! I couldn't that's why I have 5!
Well based on history in this country and around the world, law enforcement, just like with drugs has been totally ineffective. Just like a lot of things I don't know the answers to these difficult, controversial and protecting nature questions. I still believe education and how we raise awareness with our children/grandchildren is the only answer. Appreciate your feedback!
The Woodcock like other ground nesting birds numbers have shown significant decline in Ohio. Bath Preserve has created what I think are original signs but with an effective message to it's visitors that's hard to ignore. These are posted all over the walking trails.
