 Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch, St. Paul Island, AK While visiting the island of St. Paul this past summer we spent an afternoon at the quarry where the Bering Sea variety of these Rosy-Finches were nesting in the crevices of the dirt face of the excavation. The Bering Sea variety of this bird is about 15% larger and has more of a chocolate brown breast and more extensive dark all over as compared to coastal and interior individuals. I positioned myself above and behind the nesting location after witnessing this bird land there several times. The red rock face was about 100 feet across the quarry and made for a nice background for this species. It actually took a couple hours to have this one land for me, but well worth the wait. While this in now one of my personal favorites I have never shown it to anyone. Comments welcomed! EOS 1D, EF 600/4 IS, 1.4TC, 1/200 @ f13, ISO 400, flash @ -1 1/3. Greg Downing
