Hi everyone, Here are 4 close shots of an American Woodcock that I photographed last night (May 2) in the field bordered by Snyder and Cherry Rd. north of the airport. Hard to believe, these were taken handheld, manually focusing, and without an external flash! Such an awesome bird and one of my

I happened to be in Endicott earlier this evening and decided to stop by the marsh to try to see the yellow-headed blackbird again (after being unsuccessful at trying to find it on Sunday afternoon).  When I arrived, Jeff Gerbracht and kids had already done a great job of locating it.  Great cle
