For the first time in about six months I joined the group of birders led by David Clapp from the South Shore Audubon. It stayed dark and gloomy, but it was relatively warm (40) and no wind, so walking about was quite pleasant. We went to Duxbury Beach in search on Snowy Owls, no success, then went to Daniel Webster Farm, and saw seven Red-Tails and one Harrier. I went specifically to try out a new combination of 400mm lens with a 1.4 X converter (making a lens of 560mm), and it worked pretty well, but objects were 100 yards away (some 200), so with the dark and distance I didn't succeed in much great photography. The bird count included 49 species, however, pretty good for a January in N.E,, and included a Razorbill, pretty rare in these waters.
