Moisture and the Nikon D90

 

Spot retrieves a Mearns Quail.

The  talk here in AZ. is about  the amount of snow and rain this State has received in the last three days.For example  in this area  the precip. got all the little creeks running which I have never seen in the winter. More storms are in the forecast and if the weather pattern keeps up 2010 will be looking good for  a Gambles Quail hatch  ... fingers crossed ! .

This is the first shot of moisture since early December so the short term effect  is  improved scenting conditions which the dogs really are enjoying as they display a  great deal of confidence while running and on point.

Due to a dumb move on my part I lost my D40 somewhere in Oklahoma .The replacement is a Nikon

D90 which seems like a nice camera, and has more features than the older D40 , the only drawback is that it weighs more.The pictures on this Post  where all shot with the new  D90. I have work out some shutter speed issues but otherwise so far so good .
