Several of the warblers as well:) Well to be honest, there is quite a list of better shots to be had. Hope that camera bill wasn't/isn't too much. I have yet to go to Mt. Ord or Sunflower. But the heat is here and that means, higher elevations:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-5427356560883325072013-04-23T19:13:36.398-07:002013-04-23T19:13:36.398-07:00Thanks Tammy.
