Grey-tailed Tattler in Breeding Plumage

[Tonji Ramos]

We had a super time in Olango.

3 lifers.

3 kinds of lechon. Conch, fish, grilled pork, fried chicken!

Massage, beer, boats, birds. All my favorite things, what can I say? ;D

One of the bird photos I liked from the trip is this Grey-tailed Tattler eating a crab.

We were lucky to have great light in the morning of our second day.

How did your other photographs turn out, notably the Broad Billed Sandpiper and Asiatic Dowitcher shots?

[Mark Itol]

Sure looks like it was a lot of fun. Love the shooting angle. The crab adds a lot.

Thanks Mike, Mick, Mark and William.

Steve, I have not had time to look at all my pictures and process. I am not even finished with my pictures from 5 or 6 sorties back. Probably have to look at a few hundred GB worth of pics. The Broad Billed Sandpipers were "ok" if I remember and the Dowitcher shots should be good since they were not too far. I will get to them soon, hehe, if I can stop running around. Thinking of going out again to take more pics....more backlog.
