I forgot my camera when I left for work this morning, and I'm kicking myself for  it.  I returned home from St. Louis last night, and I left my DSLR on the dining room table.  I decided to walk the Osprey Trail on Spring Hammock Preserve anyway, and thankfully at least I had my binoculars and point and shoot camera.  I walked down to the boardwalk and found two Prothonotary Warblers, and at the lake shore I found one distant Purple Gallinule.  The Prothonotary Warlbers must have known that I didn't have my good camera, and they both flew very close to me--mocking me for my forgetfulness.  I did get a couple shots with my point and shoot, though, which I'll include at the bottom of the post, just for those that might want to see them.  On the way back, I decided to look for subjects to photograph that my camera might be able to handle well.  Here is what I found.

And here are a couple ID photos of the Prothonotary Warblers.  I'm actually impressed that they came out as well as they did, given that my Canon Powershot S100 only zooms out to about 125mm. Nevertheless, they're terrible photos.

  1. Ahh, but the point of the walk was to benefit YOU, right? And I'm sure it did. The fact that you were able to return with something to share with the rest of us is icing on the cake (for us!).
    For me, you brightened my morning. Thank you, Scott!
