Robb Field, Ocean Beach, San Diego.

Imperial Beach (San Diego) CA, yesterday.

Sunset Cliffs Natural Park. If I wanted to hear Sugar Ray, I'd go to a shitty bar.

We are coming into an exciting time of year for birds in San Diego. A lot of the juveniles are growing up, a few are leaving town, but we are about to experience an influx of winter birds! Also, the terns are breeding in the South Bay at the moment. Here are some birds from the last couple of days. Western bluebirds, dark eyed junco, common gallinule, ash throated flycatcher, juvenile black crowned night heron (in flight), great blue heron, great egret, and an American goldfinch. There's also a blue dasher dragonfly in there for good measure. Oh! And a Cooper's hawk.

These were taken at Harry Griffen Park in La Mesa, Kumeyaay Lake in Mission Trails, and at the Dairy Mart Ponds in Otay Mesa.

Say it to my face!

He's just a little guy! I think he wants to be friends.

Both sets taken at the Irvine IRWD marsh. Pretty neat place. These are the first pics I'm seeing from the last 4 days, and I can't wait to get through the rest. Sony A7R6 with the 200-600mm lens.

I just looked out my hotel window and I can see their bus. Super fun birthday long weekend for me!

Please excuse the size of these pics being optimized for Facebook.

I do highly suggest looking at the full album. There are about 95 pictures of it stomping around, being all crazy, and catching fish.

Sony a7r6 at 600mm with the 200-600mm. f14. 1/40 shutter speed. 12800 ISO. Obviously denoised. I was hand holding and this is what came out. I wish I had time to get out my monopod, but you get what you get sometimes.

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS BIRD. I was there for an hour yesterday. I have hundreds of pics. I'm still getting through them, but I just wanted to share a few.

This turtle seems to be there every day right now. If you're interested, it is worth watching it pop out of the water every couple of minutes. There's also a reddish egret kicking around there every day, and one of the most beautiful little blue herons I've seen. These pics are okay, but it is SO hard to get in frame.

What a beast. 200-600 lens. Clearly some work in Lightroom.

4 ounces of pure silver plated in 24k gold. I like Reddit more than other sales sites, so here I am. Venmo, please. Will be shipped priority.

$265 to your door. If you live in San Diego, will meet up and sell for $250.

Three lenses. All in amazing condition.

Sony e 11mm f/1.8 with lens hood. It had a filter on it from when it was bought. I just removed it because it was cheap and you don't want it. $375 shipped.

Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens - For Sony E-Mount with lens hood. Also in amazing condition. $300 shipped.

Samyang 135mm manual focus E Mount f1.2 - In great shape. I only mounted it once to test it. It came with a bunch of other stuff I bought. $185 shipped. It is heavy.

All lenses are 15 dollars cheaper for local pickup in San Diego, CA. I would much prefer Venmo for selling. I'll provide whatever proof that you want that I am a real human being. Thanks!

Out in OB yesteday. A few from Famosa slough and the rest at the mouth of the river. The tide was pretty high, so most of the shore birds were pretty far out. I decided to take a landscape approach and get some smaller birds and a bit of the surroundings. And then one black-crowned night heron closeup because it is so cool. The other birds are a black phoebe, house finch, black-bellied plover, savannah sparrow, and barn swallow. Oh, and a kildeer.

This bird was super close. This crop is still pretty heavy, but when you have 68 megapixels, you can afford it. I love the detail these cameras get these days.
