Black Butte Ranch 5 Sep 2015
I enjoyed great views of a variety of birds this morning at Black Butte Ranch. Among them were a dozen or more WESTERN TANAGER, swarms of PINE SISKIN, LESSER GOLDFINCH, a WILLOW FLYCATCHER, and a seemingly imperturbable juvenile COOPER'S HAWK who's arrival spooked every other bird in the area. 17 Images

Question: How do you eat a bee successfully?
Answer: Head first!
PINE SISKIN:

Hi Brandyn,
Thank you for the kind comments!
I use a Nikon D4 camera body, with 500 mm f.4 Lens, on a monopod for most of my bird photography.
I almost always shoot in manual mode and find myself in the zone (able to concentrate on composition) when conditions permit shutter speeds in excess of 1/1000th of second, when ISO is set to 800 or lower, at f-stops between 5.3 to 6.3.
Best,
- Jack
