Long-billed Curlew (Numenius americanus)
When we first saw this bird Sandy and I never though we'll have a chance to get an image of this morsel, skittish, alert , and a walking speed of an Olympic runner, We were so mistaken in our assumptions !!, Not one but three came to visit and maybe two walked (we could not tell if it was the same bird) past us within a few feet, We had waited in situ long enough and he was comfortable with our slow movements, a telltale sign of advance middle age! We had our way with this creature to our hearts desire, Sandy was so please that he did not ask the Curlew for a hug!!!, It was magic, a gift from the Gods!! D1x,Raw, Lens=400mm afs-f/2.8 + 1.4X, FL=550mm,Incident metering, EV=12/3, 1/500sec SS-f/5.6, ISO=200,WB Auto, Flash SB-800 (Miracle worker) EV=0 D-TTL. Any comments and or reposts are always welcome!! This has been posted from my laptop, my computer has been commandeered by my daughter doing law enforcement work !! [b]Alex Calzadilla[/b]
