I spend the occasional morning at Arlington Butte, which is a bird refuge about 30 miles from my house. Although I have mixed success at photographing the birds - I always seem to be facing the wrong way, or I move at the worst possible moment and scare them away! But, I always enjoy my time there. I usually arrive at 4.30am (ish!) while it is still dark and set up my area. By 6am - 7am the sun comes up and turns the reeds into this great golden colour! By 10am the sun is so bright that the lighting becomes very difficult to work with. However, before the sun comes up completely there is a pre-dawn time that I love - the light is not good enough to be able to catch the detail of the birds, but it gives a different feeling to the surrounding area.
