    Bird ID

    When in the field, I used the Merlin app on my phone. It can ID calls or songs of birds in North America. I often use Merlin to decide whether I should sit and wait because a species I want to photograph is calling.

    Dropped onx and went to Gaia

    Here is a link to a post from 2022 on why I preferred Gaia over ONX

    Dropped onx and went to Gaia

    I use both. I use Gaia 95% of the time, ONX 5% of the time. I like that Gaia has hierarchical folder so I store waypoints in a folder structure like: hunting/2024/pheasants/MT I like the high resolution imagery in Gaia and ability to label waypoints such as "Flushed rooster 1-Nov-2023". I...

    A couple hours in western Montana.

    I was impressed how well the RF 100-400mm lens did at relatively low light. These were taken last night at sunset looking to the west in our MT pasture. F/8, ISO6400, 1/500 sec

    A couple hours in western Montana.

    Went on a 10-mile "dike hike" at the local refuge this morning. The new camera has tracking and eye detection which is great for birds in flight. I had 2 attempts, a golden eye at 1/500 sec and a gadwall at 1/1250 sec. Both with my RF 100-400mm lens.

    Wrangler ATG?

    I agree. I wear them most days unless it is hot, then shorts. I like the polarfleece lined for went I split wood up in Alaska during the winter. Or under rain paints in a cold rain. Quick drying, most have lasted a few years until a zipper fails.

    A couple hours in western Montana.

    Lens. RF 800mm F/11 so F/11 allows relatively little light to enter the sensor. It cost $600, an RF 800m F/5.6 cost over $7,000 !

    A couple hours in western Montana.

    For years I took photos with a $300 (used bridge camera). After moving from Alaska and settling in Montana, I found myself out taking photos about 6 times per week. So I finally bought a "real camera" a Canon R7. Yesterday I went out for a coupe hours with a RF 800mm F/11 lens. The lens cost...

    RIP Garmin Inreach … iPhones to allow satellite messages in ios18

    I pay $12.99 per month for my Inreach subscription. Worth it.

    NBA

    Last year some sports pundits proclaimed the Nuggets as a 3-5 year dynasty, this year it is the Celtics. Last NBA team to win back-to-back championships was the Warriors in 2018. Before that it was the Lakers in 1987,1988. There are so many good, young teams that can peak at the right time to...

    Inreach - which one

    I used an inReach SE (yellow) for over a decade in Alaska and I was always impressed with the life of the battery. I forgot to take it when we moved down to Montana for the winter, so I bought an InReach Mini which I like because it was so much more compact. In Alaska we used the InReach...

    Tell me a story about your dad. ( Father's Day Thread )

    My dad was a world war II vet. He was one of the happiest people I've ever known. He lived a happy life and passed at the age of 96. The thing I remember most about him was how proud he was of all his children and how encouraging he was. He would often wait and let me figure things out. He...
