Harsh midday light is nobody’s friend. Choppy one hour boat rides are also nobody’s friend.
It is hard to do a full day of fishing with other people in the boat and get good bird photos. I usually get them when the fishing is bad. If the fishing is good I have a hard time stopping for bird photos. Sometimes you get some good light and can get some good landscapes but usually you just drag the camera around all day. Dragging the camera around does seem to be part of the game though. I got those fall color shots last week because I dragged the camera around for three days.
Thanks for posting the birds.
