Description

1/125s @ f/11, ISO 2500, Nikkor 500mm f/4 (Animals)
This one's for Gord - my inspiration!

I cut off some of the foliage on the branches holding my backyard feeders and I finally got a clean background! This little nuthatch (not used to me being there) was eying me cautiously as he made his way to the peanut feeder.

Still making my way around the Finalists...

Exif: F Number: 11, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/125 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 2500, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 500.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700
