Early morning photography hike around Ford County SFL. 4 November 2016
Morning hike & shoot at Ford County Lake
4 November 2016
A arrived at Ford County lake just prior to sunrise and completed a nearly 4 mile hike around the lake with my Nikon D500 and 200-500mm lens. There were still some pockets of fall color hanging around some of the Cottonwoods and much of the Little Bluestem was in a wonderful warm orange-red hue. Birds photographed included Downy Woodpecker, Dark-eyed Junco, Cedar Waxwing, and White-crowned Sparrow.
