    While most of the shorebirds are up farther north now. There was still an oystercatcher, and half a dozen spotted sandpipers at Morro Bay.

    Like the COMP, sharpness, and the lichen. The bird itself is in pretty ratty plumage compared to that beauty we had in JAN.

    Best to check up on the dates for the NANPA gig that I mentioned.

    Nice job with exposure and sharpness Aidan. I'd prefer a slight head turn away from you.

    Good exposure control and setting. I also wish for a bit more eye contact and might sharpen a little bit more.
