Thank you. I need to drag my monopod out more. I will miss in flights but maybe more of these. After a while you just can’t hold up that heavy lens, which you need to do to time these. A catch 22 I believe.

I was thinking of buying a monopod myself and was recently discussing it with a friend back home. He just bought a set up with an Oben carbon fiber monopod, a Wimberley MH-100 MonoGimbal head, and a Wimberley C-12 Arca-Swiss compatible quick release clamp. Says he’s missing some of those flight shots too, but very happy so far with his big lens. What monopod setup do you have? I’m still open and thinking about, and you have years of experience with them.

I will email you info. My setup works very well.

Thanks!

Hi, raining and cold. I am publishing a post on Monopods in a little while. Has been a topic of conversation lately so…

That’d work great for me, I’ll watch for that post!!
I have not been at our rookery in a few days, and it’s just down the road. Too much rain.

We’re having the usual on again off again rainy days here, too, but our GBH nesting has been greatly diminished in the past few years since the ‘takeover’ by the Wood Storks!

Our Great Blues have been a little off the two years, but still OK. The Egrets come soon and there we may have a problem. Not the Storks, Anhinga. The Anhinga are really aggressive and taking over areas that were Great Egret nests.

It’s so interesting to see how these kinds of changes evolve over time, and probably will continue to occur as the years go by. Fascinating stuff!

Just an FYI, for some reason all your comments require me to approve each one. You must have angered the WP Gods 😂. I’m looking into it.

That’s weird! So sorry. I think you’re right though, that the WP “Happiness Engineers” are not happy with me lately. 😅. Having lots of trouble on my end when I want to continue using the Classic mode instead of the Block editor. I’m planning to delete the WP app from my laptop and start over.

Had to approve this one also. BTW. If you want to use Classic mode use the php web browser app. Just go to WordPress.com and login from there. Inside the PC version, somewhere, is an option to disable Block editor and use Classic. That’s what I did.

I wonder if other people have to approve my comments. I’ll ask Ellen too.

She is sitting 2 feet from me, I just asked her, and it’s no.

Thanks to you both!

😂 Haha…Progress!?

Yes. This came through with no approval needed. I went into the list of people I follow (in the WP App for IPad) and manually reentered you. I could not click follow on your site,so manually did it. All better now 👍👍

This is beautiful. Well done, Ted!

Ted and Ellen, I would guess. 🙂

Sweet capture of this lovely gesture, Ted! You remind me that I haven’t caught up with our great blue herons here lately to see how they’re faring.

👍, I was a techie nerd in a previous life…😆😆
Sweet💕
There is a lot of that 🤣. And, one nest has very small chicks I am told. I have not been back. It’s right down the road, I keep going other places 🙉
