Progressive Bee Fly

Image

Seen these two in my yard. Book ids them as Progressive Bee Flys and they 1/4 to 1/2 inch. They were pretty big for flies.

Yep I heard about this place, but it is not close to me. Bombay Hook is, and the images you posted here are pretty much what you get on the east coast (minus the mountains). The snow geese are amazing. At Bombay Hook, you do not have to walk much, if not at all. You can shoot right from the vehicle ...

I position my flash (using the bracket) right on the front top of the lens. The aperture everyone loves to use is 11, but I get better results between 7 and 9.
