20110630 - 2 491 1c1 Common Murre.jpg

Cape St Mary's Ecological Reserve, NL

A final close-crop posting of a Common Murre at Cape St Mary's. Next I propose to posst some images of the Black-legged Kittiwake, then some of Razorbills. In all, I spent only about 2-3 hours at Cape St Mary's. I don't think I've ever seen or photographed so many birds in such a short time. What's really great too is that all the shots were taken from the mainland, a short 20 minute walk from a paved road and from The Interpretive Centre. All shots were either hand-held or with the aid of a mono pod.

Nikon D300S ,Nikkor 300mm f/4 ED-IF AF-S
1/800s f/8.0 at 420.0mm iso400 full exif
