[obol] ARLO

[Paul Buescher]

Obolers,

 

I arrived at Blind Slough around 1200 7 Jan 08 to find no loons. So, with
big lens on tripod began photographing the grebes that were most
cooperative.  By 1400 only the Red-throated had made an appearance.  That
led to the now famous drive around the farm land to see what else was out
there; most outstanding was the flock of Starlings that rival any flock on
the Interstate Bridge.  1445 and back to Pentilla Rd where ARLO was abeam
the blue house ( this is a few hundred meters plus a couple of yards west of
the bridge) at the right turn.  I would say this bird is catching everything
that swims by.  Of approx. 15 attempts the success rate approached 90%.   No
rain, light wind, some sun which of course had all the birds back lit.
Fashionable late is better than a no show.

 

Warm Regards

 

Paul
