Of the two i like 'lesand04' the best, but not sure why, I will have to look at it for a while longer and maybe come up with a good reason. ;) gene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Herr" <wildlightphoto at earthlink.net> To: lug at leica-users.org Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2012 9:10:33 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [Leica] IMG: Sunday Sandpiper Today I visited the Yolo Bypass wildlife area between Sacramento and Davis CA and an hour of blending into the background scenery was rewarded with photos of the Least Sandpiper, a tiny (5 to 6 inches) hyperactive shorebird who probes the mud for yummy invertebrates. http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/scolopacidae/lesand04.html http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/scolopacidae/lesand05.html The Least Sandpiper often winters here but in a few days it will fly north to the Alaskan and Canadian arctic to breed. technical stuff: R8/DMR, 560mm f/6.8 Novoflex Telyt, shoulder stock & monopod. The Novoflex built-in extension tube was VERY handy today. All comments welcome.
