JerseyDigiscoping with Kowa Prominar Digiscoping is a photo method which involves attaching a compact or DSLR camera to a Spotting scope while achieving focal lengths from about 800mm to around 4000mm. JerseyDigiscoping features Bird and Wildlife Photos, tech bites, and some new equipment reviews along with my journal of my outings. All my captures are taken exclusively thorough Kowa Prominar 880 series scopes. Enjoy JerseyDigiscoping ,,,Kevin Bolton

Vesper Sparrow and others
October is a great Birding month particularly for Sparrow's, so I visited one of my favorite Digiscoping locations in Warren county Glen Hurst Meadows , you don't really have to go far once you arrived you can just hang in the parking area and be greeted by a Vesper, Savannah , White Crowns and many others from the comfort of your car.
One word of caution this is a hunted area so check out the local regulations what days are the within the season , but I would suggest going on the off times, usually Thursday is the best day voiding Hunter and Birding traffic

A tale of Three Warblers
The Migration was on big time last night after that Tropical System headed into the neighborhood dropping about 8 inches of Rain on Friday .
Overpeck was alive with Passerines on this clear October morning, although I thought it was going to be dissapointing for Digiscoping considering the Warblers seemed to be on high octane caffeine.,but I did find a few subjects that manged to stay still for a few seconds.
Magnolia Warbler
Black Throated Blue Warbler Fall Female
Palm Warbler
Also I did experiment with my F stop on the S90 on the Palm Warblers, the first capture was at 3.2 with a 1/1000th of a sec. On the second I wanted to widen my depth of field so, I opened it to about 5.0 which gave me a 1/400th of a sec which brightened the Bird up a bit , I think if I had the F stop at 4.0 that would have been ideal, by the time I had that thought the Palm was done with my session till another time.
