Subject: Black-bellied Whistling-Duck
(Dendrocygna autumnalis)
Place: Goodyear, 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 metered
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 60% of frame
Commentary: A bird of limited range in the US, seen mostly in
the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas and in southeastern Arizona.
There is a disjoint population around Phoenix, and I've seen flocks
of almost 100 birds at times. Unfortunately, here in Phoenix they are
very difficult to get within photographic range.
