The Birds #1


We have some uninvited guests in a mud nest above the archway on our front porch. The mess these little guys create on a human scale would equal a thorough hotel suite trashing by the Rolling Stones back when Keith Richards was still alive. This is a grab shot from my front door, lit by the porch light. Nikon D700, ISO 1,200, auto WB, Nikon 180mm f2.8 AF, f/8.0 @ 1/60s, built-in flash at -2.0 for fill, handheld. RAW file cropped to 4x5 in Lightroom 2.

Indigo Bunting

This little blue bird, an Indigo Bunting, was all over Cliff Cave Park this Sunday. Very hard to photograph ... I was hand-holding a 300 mm lens, but he wouldn't stay still very long at all.
