Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Snowy Egret (Egretta thula)
Place: Maricopa, AZ, USA
Date: April 2002
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6),
car window
Film: Fujichrome Sensia 100
Exposure: aperture priority matrix metered
Scan: Minolta Dimage & VueScan; 90% of image
Commentary: Since Arizona has little water the distribution of
egrets is erratic. This bird was a surprise when it showed up in the
middle of a large experimental farm area where I was photographing
Burrowing Owls, but true to form it came to this small irrigation
pond.
