20141104 310 White-winged Scoter.jpg

Ottawa West

Two images of a White-winged Scoter.

Top Image: The Scoter finally came in close enough for a good-crop shot in reasonably good light.(For several days we had been watching it, almost always far out into the river and under dark skies.)


A distant shot taken the previous day. It shows the white wing feathers, hence its name.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 500mm f/4D IF-ED AF-S II
1/1000s f/8.0 at 850.0mm iso360 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
