Candid Shots from the Midwest Birding Symposium

Kathleen Cameron is one of my birding friends from Idaho and she was at the Midwest Birding Symposium too.  She has allowed me to share some of her candid photos as I didn't bring my good camera.  She also organizes birding/eco tours to Costa Rica and I feature her in my side bar, so check it out!

This photo was taken by me with my point-n-shoot - Sunrise at Magee Marsh
Before it was light enough to explore the Magee Marsh Boardwalk, we spent some time on the shore of Lake Erie looking at Bald Eagles, Gulls, and Cormorants
Sanderlings - if you want to see great pictures of these birds visit Kelly Riccetti's Red and the Peanut.  Rob Ripma also has similar close-ups at NuttyBirder.

  4. Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! What cool birds and birders you met! Jealous! Jealous! Jealous! (but so happy for you!) Perhaps the next time around I will finally get to be there! Gorgeous shots of the sunset and nice captures of the gulls in flight.
