September was a great birding month — I got out quite a bit in wonderful Fall weather and got six species for my life list — and missed several more.
It was also a month where I struggled with digiscoping, starting off with my big Canon 60D with a 50mm lens and remote shutter control but found it very bulky and shaky. I switched back to my little SD4000 point and shoot and tried shooting in bursts. Here are some results — not quite ready for primetime. They do capture for me some of the places and birds I ran into in MA and VT.

| A gaggle of Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, and a few juvenile Little Blue Herons at Parker River WNR |
 |
| A flock of Greater Yellowlegs flew in while I was walking the Hellcat Dike at Parker River. |
 |
| A juvenile Least Tern which was raised on the beach at Sandy Point SP on Plum Island, MA |
 |
| Semi-palmated Sandpipers huddled up in the wind at Sandy Point. |
 |
| A Wood Duck at Berlin Pond, VT. Morning light always makes shooting a challenge. |
