Brad photographed some fledged Great Horned Owlettes in a well known local location. He then went and found some Black-throated Green Warblers in a wonderful spot and got some great images. Next up was heading back to his local Common Loon spot which might have some Spotted Sandpipers, sure enough it did and things got epic for him! I share about my experience traveling from Maine to Newfoundland including warblers along the way and my attempts to photograph them with a Lensbaby tilt lens and the TT Artisan 250mm donut bokeh lens. I also share about our first time encountering icebergs along...
