I left my scope at home today because I wanted a morning off from carrying
things on my shoulder. And because I wanted to see what my new camera could do
by itself. I didn't think higher magnification than 16X would be useful in a
hand held camera, so I bought a Canon PowerShot SX 160. Wound up using the
digital zoom on most shots, which does nothing more than crop the 16X view. By
the time I cropped them again in iPhoto they were pretty grainy, but I was able
to document everything I saw at 739 Pond today and get a few shots I couldn't
have gotten with my cool pix & scope. About the same set of shorebirds were
there as the last time I went - Killdeer, Pectoral Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper,
Semipalmated Sandpiper, Spotted Sandpiper, Lesser Yellowlegs and Stilt
Sandpiper. Waders - Great Egret & Green Heron. Flushed a Northern Harrier a few
few in front of me but did not capture it until it was far away. Spotted
Sandpiper here plus several others to the left in my photostream -
