September 3rd saw a scheduling change in CMBO's Saturday Photo Walk as we met at 3:00 p.m. instead of in the morning. Although the winds were not conducive to a hawk flight, and it is still very early in the season, enough subjects were present for us to have some fun and discuss various exposure and composition ideas. For me, the most interesting bird was a very bright fall plumaged Bobolink, although the most cooperative birds were the three Eastern Kingbirds who spent much of the time in front of us. As always, the Mute Swans also provided photographic opportunities. We will meet again at the Hawk Watch Platform in Cape May Point State Park next Saturday at 3:00 p.m. and, remember, these photo walks are free!
