Searching for hard to find birds and getting photographs of them is my passion. Most of my birding is done in an 80 acre farm field that is a marsh six months of the year. So far I have found 175 species in this field, including 28 species of shorebirds. Back in 1936 a farmer raked the previous year's corn stalks into windrows and set them on fire. The soil, being peat, caught fire and burned for months. The locals call the field "the burned-off." I call it the Burn, short for Lye Creek Prairie Burn. The field was last farmed in 2003 and has grown up in grass and forbs since. A large part of the field's grass is foxtail, but a major portion of it has grown up in swamp grass that grabs the ankles and cuts the skin. It isn't easy to walk through, but that's how I get my shots of birds. I have two methods of photographing them: digiscoping by attaching a Nikon CP885 to the eyepiece of a Kowa TSN-824 scope for the long shots; Canon 20D DSLR with 100-400 IS lens for the closer faster moving birds that would be almost impossible to capture with the digiscoping setup. I am retired so I usually devote 1-3 hours a day pursuing my hobby. |
