Add outrageous fuel prices and a very productive business schedule and it<br \/>was very apparent that my birding adventures were going to be even more limited than usual. So I hatched a plan! If my chances of photographing new birds were low, I would shift gears and make this the summer for finding and photographing young birds of familiar species. Today then, I look back on this year&#8217;s breeding and nesting season with a sense of accomplishment.

I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing what birds show up this fall.
