Southwest Trip – 2013 – Life Birds

Anytime I can get 2 or 3 life birds on a trip I can go home happy. On this trip I managed 9 Lifers, 5 new birds and 4 new for the California, Arizona, Texas, ABA area.

Southwest Trip – 2013 – Improvement Images

I managed a few improvement images of birds I already had but the photos were not great. With the equipment I was using back in 2004 they looked fantastic but with todays 40mp cameras they looked pretty bad.
