Hey guys, I’ll will be going on a vacation to north padre and mustang island with the family around may 10th till the 16th, i will be hitting the beach mostly but I wanna get a lot of good birding shots while there! I have gotten some before but I’m hoping to do better this time and I’d like to ask the best birders I know for help, I plan on hitting a few hotspots I found before, like the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center, Charlie’s pasture nature trail and a little place called paradise pond.
Plus there will be lots of shore birds too, my main goal is just to get great shots of any birds I can.
My main rig now is the canon 77D with my 55-250 lens (still saving up for the sigma 150-600), and I also have a drone now, it’s a pretty decent one too, so that will take some awesome beach and ocean shots.
You can see my last two trips photos here https://www.flickr.com/gp/202332551@N05/976z4ni4zv
My main ask is for help with birds in flight, good settings for them and good ways to focus on them too, and any tips or tricks or possible locations if anyone else has been there before too
Any and all y’all can say will help and be greatly appreciated.
