Arrowhead Marsh On A Dull Sunday in January 2009
This was really intended to be another test of the GPS tagging before the road trip rather than photo opportunities. It's been raining pretty hard for the last few days, but the sun came poking through so we thought we'd grab the opportunity and try another local place at Arrowhead Marsh. The walk was pretty nice and we got to see quite a wide variety of birds as you will see from the photos below. The GPS tagging didn't quite go according to plan - I set the date incorrectly on my camera and then tried to use some freeware EXIF editing software to edit the dates on the photos. It sort of worked, but failed when I tried to link the photos to the map (from Flickr as this is the only way you can do it at the minute as all this stuff is somewhat beta test). Anyway, I got most of them forced onto the page, but for some reason the last two photos didn't make the map. Anyway, the bird list is as follows:
- American Avocet
- American Coot
- American Wigeon
- Black Phoebe
- Black-Necked Stilt
- Bufflehead
- Common Goldeneye
- Eared Grebe
- Great Egret
- Greater Scaup
- Green Winged Teal
- Lesser Scaup
- Lesser Yellowlegs
- Mallard
- Mew Gull
- Northern Pintail
- Northern Shoveler
- Western Gull
- Western Meadowlark
- White-Winged Scoter
- Willett
