28May05 Brown-Headed Cowbird

Bluff Point, Groton, CT

Photo a Day, Day 60... Went on a hike today around Bluff Point and tested out the 100-400 lens a bit more. I really liked the focus on this and the background effect. Had to look up the bird in an Audubon book. Apparently he is of the Blackbird family. Alternate is a panoramic I took below... at least one of them.. will put more up later..

Very good shot! Skillfully manipulated with DOF!

You have learned the secret of this lens! It has such sweet bokeh : )
This is a nice shot and now your looking up the names of birds too, LOL! I use an old Birds of Eastern USA book with color drawings, but I think I'm getting the Audubon book for my b'day.
