Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: White-winged Dove (Zenaida
asiatica)
Place: Gilbert, AZ, USA
Date: May 2004
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6),
tripod
Film: Fujichrome Sensia 100
Exposure: aperture priority matrix metered
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 90% of original frame
Commentary: White-winged Doves are closely tied to the range
of the Saguaro cactus as the fruits provide an important source of
food for these doves. Similar
to an image I made in 2002 within a quarter mile of our house, I
found this bird and cactus at a public park 20 miles away where I
didn't have as steep of a shooting angle.
