The activity at Ferrari Pond has slowed lately, despite our unseasonably cool-ish temperatures for the past week. The American White Pelicans seem to have moved on. I haven’t seen a Coyote in weeks. I’m guessing the activity will get even slower as the temperatures climb back up to expected norms in the high nineties to low hundreds this week. Of course there are the usual suspects there, including a Black-crowned Night Heron that seems to have claimed this area as his own. I seem him either in the pond near the bridge or on the spillway at Angler’s Cove. Yesterday, he wasn’t in any of his usual haunts. Instead, he was preening high up in the Weeping Willow on the edge of Angler’s Cove. I photographed him when I arrived and then thirty minutes later when I left. He hadn’t moved an inch. And, I have a better solution for my new light weight photo rig. I’m now using the Nikon Z6III instead of the Z8, saving more than half a pound. The Z6III and the Z28-400 combo makes the perfect walking around duo!
