Magee Marsh, Crane Creek, BWIAB, Ohio, Birding

I took this photo with a 7D Mark II camera and 100-400 lens I borrowed from the Canon folks at their booth at the entrance to Magee Marsh during BWIAB. I loved the camera and lens, though at my age, not sure I want to carry it around all day! As you may have noticed, the series of photos of my trip to Washington D.C. has finished, as now I will likely be featuring photos of the birds I photographed at the Magee Marsh boardwalk, etc.  The Red-breasted Nuthatch was a lifer for me, meaning in Birdwatcher language, the first time you saw it in your life!

Our train finally arrived! We had all been told to get off of the train because it is out of service! We all exited, and after 5 minutes the empty train left, and then some time this train arrived, and we were again headed for the Shady Grove metro station!

After an unsuccessful search for a samosa, I settled for a tasty Phillys Jalapeno Cheese Steak sandwich, while spending time at the Union Station in D.C.
