What’s Up? On Friday, I enjoyed a different kind of wonderful morning with the pelicans. As predicted, there was a barely perceptible breeze from the east so there was not much flight and the birds that did land came in very low. The few photographers who came late left early leaving all of the beautiful […] What’s Up? As below, Thursday morning proved to be quite interesting. Today is Friday 30 December 2022.

And lots more. I filled a 160GB Delkin card for one of the very few times ever. But today’s blog post is about our first afternoon. There were more than 600 pelicans on the various cliffs on Thursday morning. We experimented with 1/13 second cormorant […] What’s Up? Conditions on Wednesday morning were similar to those on Tuesday: a gentle surf and bit more of a breeze from the northeast later in the morning. The pelican photography was excellent again and we had more flight chances. I was joined by Anar Daswani of San Jose, CA. Anar joined me for two […] What’s Up? Despite the lack of high surf and only a gentle breeze from the northeast, photography at La Jolla was typically spectacular on my first morning in California.

Orlando International Airport was as jam-packed as I’ve ever seen it at 5:30am on Monday. I was glad to have TSA Pre-check! As a huge fan of Air Disasters,I was glad that my non-stop flight to San Diego was blessedly uneventful. When we landed in San Diego I looked across the aisle […] What’s Up?

The folks at ILE cut down the big vulture tree on Wednesday, and the tall skinny one — my beloved favorite, on Thursday morning. All as expected despite my pleas and explanations as to the value of dead trees to all sorts of wildlife, including and especially birds. I’ve done (and continue to […] What’s Up As it was very cloudy and dark on Wednesday morning, I opted to stay in. I spent several hours making travel arrangements for three big trips coming up next spring and summer. And I got started packing for my San Diego trip.

Sunday morning dawned mostly sunny with just a bit of fog and a west/northwest wind. I worked the backlit Vulture Trees, but the magic was lacking. Then I tried some slightly backlit vultures on the ground and might have one decent, ISO 5000 take-off image, probably my only keeper from the morning session. […] |
