How’s it hanging out there. Obviously we survived the first snow of the season but maybe just barely. I did get to test my slide control skills coming down one of the larger hills on the way back from my run. Not sure what was going on there, but my 4 wheel drive truck decided that the rear wheels wanted to race the front wheels down the hill. Not a big issue for seasoned Illinois drivers – stay off the brakes, steer into the drift to get control and then accelerate out once you get it straightened out. Easy peasy, but can get the heart a pumping if a car is coming the other way. Good to get those control reminders out of the way during the early winter season. By this morning, the snow was gone from the roads and just another day in the Midwest.
To help warm up the place, figured I’d throw up a post featuring a bird shot back in the summer months – June specifically..
Just not last June. You should know me better than that by now. These shots were taken back in 2013. Trust me, if I could get these out quicker I definitely would. Wish I could hire an intern to go through all my pictures after a shoot, weed out the crap shots and present me with the shots to take into the digital dark room. You’d think a UB would do that for me… WAIT A MINUTE… something just triggered in my head. Not sure I even posted the results of the UB competition this year. Definitely need to get on that stat! For now, let’s enjoy pictures of this lovely Forster’s Tern.
Truth be told, when I was shooting this bird down at Emiquon National Wildlife Refuge, I wasn’t sure what I was taking a picture of. All I knew is there was one bird that “was not like the others” hanging out along the pier.
Hit he jump to see a couple more pictures of this cool Tern
