Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch


Subject: Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax)
Place: Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge, NY, USA
Date: September 1989
Equipment: Nikon 8008, Nikkor EDIF 400/5.6, TC14 converter (560/8), tripod
Film: Kodachrome 64
Exposure: aperture priority center-weighted meter
Scan: Minolta Dimage; 85% of frame

Commentary: I only visited Jamaica Bay Refuge once or twice during the 24 years I lived nearby in New Jersey - it was just too difficult getting to the other side of NYC to make it an enjoyable trip. This image was taken from the blind at Big John's Pond.
