Thursday, October 12, 2006Early Snow photgraphy and birding
October 12 and it's snowing here in the northern suburbs of Chicago. Except for driving in the snow - traffic here is bad enough on a sunny day - I like snow, especially when it lands on leaves that are in full fall color. It's a photgrapher's dream, but, of course, I picked the wrong day to leave my Pentax Optio A10 at home. Usually, it's in my purse, waiting for just such an ocassion.
This early snow is also a graphic reminder that my fall birding is about to switch gears. The fall warbler migration is pretty much over, but the winter birds will be arriving soon. In fact, I have been seeing Juncos for weeks and some migrating waterfowl as well. Time to throw my Kowa 663 spotting scope over my shoulder and head to the marsh! (If we don' t get snowed in, that is.) Comments: |
