I am still culling images I obtained on my birding trip to the Bolivar Peninsula (TX) in April. This is one of my favorite birding locations, but on most days during my visit, the wind, tide, and cloud conditions were not favorable for finding and photographing shorebirds. This lowered my expectations of finding many “keepers” in the files from that trip and my enthusiasm for spending a lot of time sorting the photos. But, I am finding a few pleasant surprises. .
