Killdeer in the Grass


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Killdeer in the Grass
Killdeer in the Grass

Taken in Lakewood, CO in late afternoon light. 72mm (and 1.7X TC lens), F/4.5, 1/400 sec, ISO-64, CWA, AP. I had to do some walking-and-stalking to get close enough to get a clear shot of this hyper little guy.

  Thank you Peaches. I had to keep my aperture somewhat open--to try and stop any action blur--but the narrower DOF worked pretty well with the BG colors. Thanks again!

  Hi, Wendy...and thank you for your comment! I am usually trying to get a front on shot of these guys, because they have cool black stripes on their chests...but a profile shot shows the great orange ring around the eyes. Thanks again. :-)

  Thank you so much, Dianna! This spring I had a long dry spell without any Finalists, so it feels pretty good to have some this month. In these parts, I like hearing the killdeer's first call, because it mean Spring has officially sprung. Thanks again!

  Thank you, Cheryl! Until a few years ago, I didn't even know these guys existed....or hung out here for several months every year.
