Are you tired of this yet? Anyway, this is what i just sent my grand daughter.
Well, I went with what I had, thanks for the offer. Learned a lot. Saw that they were in the same spot, amazing. Made a perfect sneak, well kinda, raised up and there he/she was swimming by. I had prepared my camera, (I thought), got it out, (the old piece of junk) LOL, opened it to extend the lens, clicked for max magnification, and raised up. There he/she was (the other 2 not in view). Took the pic. and of course they took off immediately so I only got 1 pic. Tried to take another in flight but just got snow. LOL
When I got back, took a look at what I had and, dang nab it!!!!! With my piece of junk, sometimes if you click the mag. it doesn't hold unless you take the pic. then. Sooooooooooo, I got a distant pic. again, but you know what, between I-photo and preview I "think" I got what I wanted. If that isn't a Trumpeter, then I up in the night!!!!!
P.S. They just flew out to the open fields and landed so I betcha they'll be back the next several days. They seem to like the bottom material in the river and unless they are pressured too much they will return.
