1-15-20 winter snowy day visitor_0448.JPG

Male Northern red-shafted Flicker. Its nice to be able to see some color during this rather bleak time of year. We just had our first snowfall.

It was amazing to me to be able to take this shot - ISO 16,000. It wasn't too many years ago, when one an ISO of 400 was considered high.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III
1/1250s f/6.3 at 400.0mm iso16000 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Terry the red of the plumage is set off by the muted tones of the rest of the photograph.
It is a great shot!
Well done......again!
