Nikon D2H, 600/4 and 1.4x, F7.1 @ 1/1,600, ISO 800, cropped from horizontal.
These are 2 male, teenage prairie chickens competing for the attention of the girls. When the girls are present these guys really go crazy. They dance and strut. Aerobatics are part of the more innovative routines needed if they want to win the competition. And the prize is...well, you know! This is better than reality TV. This is shot with my new D2H and its amazing 8 fps shutter speed. Earlier this year I set three bird action photo goals for my new D2H. This was one of them. The second is a flight shot of a kingfisher with minnow-in-mouth, wings spread, about to alight on a perch. The third is a female merganser busting off the surface of the water on its way into the opening of a nesting box. Stay tuned this spring. We'll see if I can get numbers 2 and 3. http://www.LenBackus.com
