Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch


Subject: American Avocet (Recurvirostra americana)
Place: Phoenix, AZ, USA
Date: June 2003
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6), monopod from car
Film: Fujichrome Sensia 100
Exposure: aperture priority matrix meter
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 75% of frame

Commentary: Avocets are common breeders in many locations around Phoenix, but usually too faraway for me to get decent image size in a photo. This is the best I've managed so far.
