A flock of 130 Lapland Longspurs was flying around SJCR (parking lot C) in stormy weather 10/8/16. I went back 10/9/16 to try for closer photos, but difficult to get close to the flighty flock on the open salicornia-coverd marsh.

DIANA BYRNE
Camera
Sony RX10 IV with fixed f2.4-4, 24-600mm (25x optical) zoom lens. This superzoom camera has a 1-inch, 20.1-megapixel sensor. The viewfinder is great, making it easy to find the bird. Zoom and auto-focus are very fast, making it more likely to get the photo before the bird is gone.
