Not really a phone call from a Great Blue Heron&#8230;but an image of a GBH taken with my Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone behind the eyepiece of my ZEISS DiaScope 65FL spotting scope. The tiny sensor in the phone is ideal, in many ways, for digiscoping (as this application of the spotting scope is called) and I have an excellent adapter to hold the phone in the right place from Novagrade. <\/p>\n<p>Of course the winter sun-light of Florida, and the inherent beauty of the bird, as well as the realatively close approach possible at the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands at Viera, all contribute the image. <\/p>\n<p>As above: ZEISS DiaScope 65FL. 15-45x Vario eyepiece. Novagrade Universal Smartphone Adapter. Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. ISO 50 @ 1\/1550th of a second.
