p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · A few from the bike trip


Hi folks!

I have a weather forced and much appreciated day off today after covering ~125 miles in the last 3 days. I am currently in Charlestown, Rhode Island, and I will be continuing south in Connecticut the next few day.

Birding was been FANTASTIC. I have found many of the target species I needed in frigid northeast. Despite the polar vortex and 2 feet of snow on my second day, I am actually ahead of pace from both a bird finding and route planning standpoint. i'm meeting lots of people and it been a blast so far.

I have had time to take a few pice here and there, so I figured I'd share them when I had a bit of time.

All taken with 7D and 400/5.6. Exif data missing from some (?)

Enjoy

Dorian





Me on day 1, a balmy 25F. This is before it dropped to -5 the next day with 25mph winds!

Great start of the journey dorian. You certainly picked a tough week to get started but obviously you are undeterred. Super pix and glad you are ahead of the game!
Best of luck going forward!

Super dove shot Dorian. The other birds are looking good too. Cannot say the same about the weather, but you seem to be persevering, and that is the most important thing. Keep in bikin'!

I've been following you on the blog Dorian. I'm jealous of your adventure but then I'm not that into biking. If and when I do a big year, I don't think I would have the will power to do it on bike....private jet would be my pick... totally joking on that one.

I still love that your first bird was a Snowy Owl....that should make a good news story all on its own

Great work so far. And I am especially impressed the cold and snow you navigated recently. Hope the warm weather tomorrow and Monday get you nicely down the road.

2, 5 and the last two are beauties Dorian. With everyone else frustrated by the weather you are in great spirits and enjoying your adventure.

That is great!

Dorian,
I can understand how- when certain parts of the body get frozen- a further dropping of the temperature has little effect .
At least, that seems to be the case with you so far.
These are stellar images- which is one of the main reasons for the adventure.
I wish you continuing success.

I'm glad things are going so well Dorian - despite the snow. A great job on all of the birds. The chick and the downy stand out, and I love the dove in the falling snow ~ Ron
