 Ringed Teal - Tempe, Arizona
I've been looking for interesting things to photograph for my testing of the new Nikon 500 f/5.6 PF lens. There's quite a bit of discussion on this exciting new lens in the following thread for those that haven't seen it:D500, 500 PF, ISO 400, f/5.6, 1/400s viewtopic.php?f=57&t=280002 I was alerted by fellow NSN member and Wildlife moderator Cindy Marple to eBird reports of a Ringed Teal at a small local park so this morning I went to investigate. I easily found this native of Paraguay, Bolivia, and Northern Argentina and was surprised to find it unbanded and free flying so while it is almost certainly an escapee it does not show the normal signs of a captive duck. As for the lens, it is putting the joy back in bird photography, is very sharp even wide open at f/5.6, and so easy to carry around. This shot was hand held, is uncropped and is dead sharp even at 100% - lots more discussion in the thread linked above. E.J. Peiker http://www.EJPhoto.com
