Anytime you leave with at least one sequence you are happy with is a good day. Sitting in the mud tonight it was pretty quiet as the tide was still draining from the inlet and there was not much to keep the wildlife active. I had a group of Killdeer, a couple of Black Bellied Plovers, and some Western Sandpipers at various places but nothing super interesting until just before the sun set. A Greater Yellowlegs wandered up from behind, and fortunately for me, turned and caught a fish at a great angle for the remaining light.

Lovely light in general!

It's been awhile for me posting, I've been out every day after work since the end of August, chasing the fall warblers around. It is pretty much wrapped up now, even though yesterday I still had 11 warbler species, 4 of which were considered late. Fall warbler migration is extremely hard to photograph, compared to the spring, because of all the leaves and usually cloudy weather conditions. Then when you do get sun, it's nothing but shadows and terrible lighting. Anyway, here in Milwaukee, another fantastic warbler migration with 26 species in the last 5 weeks. All photos taken with 7D mkll / EF500 f4 / 1.4xlll. I will make two posts and list their names, for some of you unfamiliar with the species.
