8/20 - Charlestown Breachway

Vacation started on a bit of a sour note when a pelagic trip out of Rhode Island was called-off halfway through our ride to Block Canyon. However we were able to make the most of the afternoon with a visit to the well-known Charlestown Breachway. Fifteen shorebird species were tallied, with highlights including an AMERICAN AVOCET and 8 Whimbrel, plus a single Forster's Tern.

Photographs

After years of digiscoping I purchased a dSLR, the Canon 7D, in July 2011 along with the 400mm f5.6 prime lens. I upgraded to the 7D MarkII in September of 2016.
All of my shots on this website are taken with either the Canon 7D, 7D MkII or digiscoped with a Canon Powershot unless otherwise noted.
ALL PHOTOS are Copyright Nick Bonomo 2008-2018 unless otherwise noted.

Post-processing, when performed, is limited to minor exposure adjustments and sharpening. I sometimes do not have enough free time for this step and will post photos as-is. On several occasions I will not alter a photo if I feel that the change does not make the bird appear as it did in the field, for identification purposes. I currently shoot in jpeg only.
