Koll Wetlands this afternoon - above, kingfishers sporting and rattling in the sky; strewn across the reflective pond surface, a score of sedate Pied-billed Grebes with a few of their young; rippling beneath the water and rolling to rise, a pair of river otters at play. After a rather antsy and restless afternoon, this helped.

Visited the Carson City WWTP Wetlands, between the freeway and the sewage plant (I know, lovely location) where a lot of different birds settle in to enjoy the many reeds and ponds in the area. Tried using eBird again and, while I like having the record, it's just a pain to try to keep count (and putting X on everything seems less than ideal). I like that iNaturalist pulls the metadata from the photo to tag the date/time/location vs having to select a vague location to submit a checklist.

Did meet with a few others out photographing the birds. One gentleman from Carson Valley had a super fast camera to snap multiple pictures, as I was busy trying to focus. We stood around for a bit identifying different birds. Which is when I learned my new 10x50 binoculars are better than my camera! I could see ducks on the far side of the pond clearly that my poor camera could only get a fuzzy shape for. Hurmmmm, have to ponder this.

Trying something new. I'll post the best four pictures here and then if you'd like to see the rest of the birds I saw, they'll be uploaded here: metapixl.com/p/NevadaWolf/5508 (It's just an experiment).
