Recap

We all braved the rain Saturday morning as we scouted for the ultimate bird photograph out at Farmington Bay. The weather wasn’t too bad withoccasional light drizzling and the sun shining towards the end. Attendees were able put their super telephoto lenses to good use to find hidden gems and perfect moments. Overall, we had a great time together and came away with some good images.
