The Chestnut-sided Warblers were in in force yesterday at Magee Marsh Ohio for the Biggest Week in American Birding. There had been a few each day, but yesterday they were abundant, and they were foraging at eyelevel in the trees and bushes along the boardwalk. Such a perky little bird. This specimen was also singing at the top of his lungs. It is not easy to catch an actively feeding warbler in the camera view, but with cooperative birds and lots of patience and practice, it can be done!
Canon SX40HS. Program with iContrast and –1/3EV exposure compensation. 840mm equivalent field of view. f5.8 @ 1/200th @ ISO 200. Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity, and sharpness.
OK Steve … I feel compelled to buy an SX40 IS.
This camera is consistently capturing in fine detail your excellent images … the best I’ve seen out of a super-zoom.
Wonderful work.
Steve, thanks for sharing. I hope to see you out there. I will be tabling on Sunday at the Ohio Wetlands Association tent by the boardwalk.
