Weekend Birdies

[Froggy]

Last Friday I left work at 3 p.m and decided to go hit the Basin for a few Friday afternoon snaps, A great blue Heron gave me a run for my money as did a black crowned night Heron, Saturday was kind of slow, the Hummers were cooperating as well as the ducks, Hope you like these.

Hey Russ where you been dude, Nice to hear from you, I saw your post from the Salton Sea shoot looks like you guys had a good time, I love williams tree shot.

Friday afternoon at the Basin was pretty good, Saturday I was there from 7:00-Noon, Nada, Sunday I captured the Hummers, I found a great spot for them:D

It's a shame whats happening to the Sepulveda Basin.

Great shots, Froggy. I think I like the hummer's best. You really caught them in their element.

So what's happening to the Sepulveda basin? More clear cutting by the Army Corps of Engineers?

The amount of foot traffic along the backside of the Lake is rediculous, there are very little posted signs to keep out of there, also the number of dogs off leash chasing the birds is out of control, you know the same old crap.

I wish that they would police that area, Hispanics fishing, I caught two guys over there on Friday setting rabbit snares and throwing rocks at the squirls etc etc etc.

Good shooting Froggy....:clap :clap
