Hwy 79 Corridor • Firma and Dalbow Roads • Clarance Cannon National Wildlife Refuge
Started out at the intersection of Firma and Dalbow Roads and immediately found the Hudsonian Godwit. Paul and a few other birders arrived a short time later and found Stilts, White-rumpeds, Phalaropes and Dowitchers. After shooting, seems like, 100k or more photos we went up to Clarance Cannon NWR. Hardly any shorebirds were found but we did see a group of more then 35 (counted) Long-billed Dowitchers hidden in the weeds. We returned on the way home to see the Godwit.

I'm just an amateur that loves to capture the beauty around us. Nothing escapes me, be it bugs, animals, especially birds, landscapes, sunsets, infrared or macros, if it’s moving or not. After retiring from the Aerospace industry after 40 years I've been able to concentrate on birding and photographing them.
