[Tweeters] Billy Frank Nisqually NWR

[dgrainger at birdsbydave.com]

We spent two days at Billy  Frank Jr Nisqually NWR, inspired by report 
of the Bittern sighting. Did not see the Bittern, did see from the Twin 
Barns Trail loop in the wetland restored area literally thousands of 
waterfowl, mostly too far for my camera. Did get very good images of 
Pintails. Best of the day was photo in flight of five Trumpeter Swans 
circling in tight formation. A hand held image shot from wheelchair on 
the gravel path, in the rain with camera in waterproof enclosure. D-850 
with Nikkor 200-500,1/2,000th sec, ISO 2,500, f/13 using burst mode. Got 
LUCKY. Posted on my website birdsbydave.com under Waterfowl Pat was 
pushing wheelchair for me; we were "walking and rolling in the rain."
