Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Bewick's Wren (Thryomanes
bewickii)
Place: Boyce Thompson Arboretum, Superior, AZ, USA
Date: April 2004
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6),
tripod
Film: Fujichrome Sensia 100
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered, strong backlight, fill
flash @ -1.7
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 70% of frame
Commentary: Part of a series of an active nesting cavity in a
heavy traffic area beside a trail at my favorite AZ park. I just
stood on the paved trail about 20 feet away and watched the birds
come and go. Any closer and the wrens became noticeably more wary, so
I settled for cropping.
