--000000000000d4aac80647845358 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Warm late December days in sandy habitat with certain oak species in Lowcountry South Carolina mean you have a shot at seeing Eastern Buckmoth. I was fortunate enough to see five on a recent warm day on a plantation in Colleton County, SC. Some were super close - but they are still the devil to photograph well. Buggers never perch and their flight is so erratic. But they are such a charming species!

A good photograph demands more skill from the hunter, better nerves and more patience than the rifle shot." -- Bror Blixen --000000000000d4aac80647845358 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div>Warm late December days in sandy habitat with certain= oak species in Lowcountry South Carolina mean you have a shot at seeing Ea= stern Buckmoth.</div><div><br></div><div>I was fortunate enough to see five= on a recent warm day on a plantation in Colleton County, SC.=C2=A0 Some we= re super close - but they are still the devil to photograph=C2=A0well.=C2= =A0 =C2=A0Buggers never perch and their flight is so erratic.</div><div><br= ></div><div>But they are such a charming species!</div><div><br></div><div>= Nathan Dias - Charleston, SC</div><br><span class=3D"gmail_signature_prefix= ">-- </span><br><div dir=3D"ltr" class=3D"gmail_signature" data-smartmail= =3D"gmail_signature"><div dir=3D"ltr"><a href=3D"https://www.flickr.com/pho= tos/offshorebirder2/" originalSrc=3D"https://www.flickr.com/photos/offshore= birder2/" target=3D"_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/offshorebirder2/<= /a><br><div><br></div><div><a href=3D"https://www.youtube.com/@NathanDiasNa= tureVideos" originalSrc=3D"https://www.youtube.com/@NathanDiasNatureVideos"= target=3D"_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@NathanDiasNatureVideos</a></div= ><div><br></div><div><font color=3D"#888888">"These days I prefer to h= unt with a camera.=C2=A0 A=20 good photograph demands more skill from the hunter, better nerves and=20 more patience than the rifle shot." =C2=A0 =C2=A0-- Bror Blixen</font>= <br><br></div></div></div></div> --000000000000d4aac80647845358-- |
