Went out looking for Purple Sandpipers today at Milwaukee's North Point (always
looking for a new life bird).
I struck out on the sandpipers, but did manage some good looks at North Point's
resident Harlequin Duck. Took a bunch of photos with my pocket camera. I
continue to be impressed by this camera. Its footprint is a little bit larger
than a credit card. And it's an inch thick at most. But it has a 20x Leica zoom
lens. Pretty handy little birding tool that's small enough that you forget it's
in your pocket.
By the way, I overheard some birders talking about the Harlequin at North Point
today. They were calling it a female. Looked like a male to me. Here's my best
photo from today:

Finally, I can't resist sharing a holiday photo...four generations of Sloan
boys! Photo was taken at a family gathering in Salt Lake City:
