A day in the Bluestem Prarie


Recommended Posts

Spent a few hours on Saturday at the BlueStem Prarie nature conservancy. now that the slough area was dry I was able to get some cool flowers. Hard to beleieve but these were all taken with the 100-400L using my Canon XTI and a mono pod. It was a little tough to get perfectly clear shots due to the 40 mph wind in the morning. By the time I got back to the road, I was ready to drop. The buffaloe grass was almost shoulder tall. It was quite the trick dragging my 40lb camera backpack, and a camera with long glass attached. It was fun anyway. Feel free to critique if you like.

I think all my ID's are accurate, excpet the one I snuck in from my yard.

NO Pheasants of deer. I could see were the deer were bedding but no actuall sitings. It was a buys mornging out there, I was not the first die hard to trek through the slough, so everything was pretty skiddish after the group of 22 cubscouts left.
