Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch


Subject: Black-and-white Warbler (Mniotilta varia)
Place: Allaire Stat e Park, Monmouth Co, NJ, USA
Date: May 1991
Equipment: Nikon 8008, Nikkor EDIF 400/5.6, handheld
Film: Kodachrome 200
Exposure: aperture priority center-weighted meter
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 60% of frame

Commentary: In spite of the obvious flaws of image size and grain, this image has been a personal favorite since I took it. I was part of a New Jersey Audubon Society bird walk (about 30 people!), and was carrying my basic "walkabout" bird gear of just the 400/5.6 and ISO 200 Kodachrome. It is difficult to get a quality warbler photo as a grab shot, but I really like the open beak and the typical location for this bird.
