Here are some photos from an early morning walk today with my 12-year-old. We’d talked about it yesterday, but since she was up late I decided not to wake her up. She got up early anyway and came out to the kitchen raring to go!
She got the best pictures of the black-throated green warbler using the Canon SX 130IS I used before my husband blessed me with a Canon Rebel last Christmas. My auto focus would NOT focus on this fellow!
Here are my photos of things we saw.
Also seen: oven bird, towhee, yellow warbler, blue wing, chickadee, catbird, brown thrasher, white-tailed deer.
