Photo Walks with Mike Hannisian - Saturday, August 11th, 2012
We were fortunate this Saturday in that the much needed rains held off until the afternoon. As expected, Bunker Pond had its share of terns with Forster's and Common predominating. Likewise, with the low water level, herons and egrets were present and offered nice photo opportunities. However, our first stop was to shoot a group of wasps on the end of a dead twig. I do not know what they were doing, but it was reminiscent of a group of males that have just found a fertile female. But the photo bird of the day was an adult Tree Swallow that posed for so long that it was still there when we left!
