Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Hooded Merganser (Lophodytes
cucullatus)
Place: Phoenix, AZ, USA
Date: October 2003
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6),
tripod
Film: Fuji Sensia 100
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 85% of image
Commentary: Although we get plenty of wintering ducks around
Phoenix, Hooded Mergansers aren't normally among them (they are
listed as uncommon to rare in the county). This bird showed up in the
same park where an immature male spent
last winter and is presumed to be the same bird.
