This average, every day, over-photographed bird provided me with my most exciting bird photography experience to date, as I witnessed a behavior new to me.
When the bird extended his bill toward the sky, he'd bring it down slowly and when his head finally touched his back, he made the sound of a wolf howling, but very muffled. It was the most haunting, lonely, sorrowful sound I've ever heard in the wild. He was in full display and his mate was two trees over. If anyone has ever experienced this display, I would love to hear from you/about it. Flash Question: This image was made with the 400 f/5.6 with 1.4tc, full frame ... -1/3 exposure compensation. I was told that my flash wouldn't reach the dark parts of its underbelly. Is this true? Would it have if I had a better-beamer? Many thanks.... Gloria Nature Photography and Wildlife Art
