I tried another time lapse sunrise this morning, and discovered I still have much to learn. The technical end is easy, but getting a good scene can be difficult. I’ll have to find a better place.

Wooton’s Landing was a little quiet, but I found a few birds. Sands Road was more active, and I was surprised to hear so many Chats.  I chsd them quite a while before getting a decent image.

I’m hearing Orchard Orioles everywhere I go.

Field Sparrows are OK, but there should be more variety at Sands Road.

The reeds were full of Common Yellowthroats.

I was surprised how long this Great Blue Heron tolerated my presence.

My guess is that there were 4-6 Yellow Breasted Chats in the bushes.

This Dragonfly was all I found before it started getting hot.
