David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Grey Catbird singing to me on the deck. Backyard Summer Nature in New Jersey. Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 80-400 mm VRII lens (ISO 1600, 400 mm, f/5.6, 1/40 sec). Hand-held, the vibration reduction on this new lens is good for an exposure this long.

As I was walking to my car from the Boulder Marriott Residence Inn I saw this brown bird hunting insects. I didn’t recognize it, and had to look it up in my “National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds”. It is a Northern Flicker which is a woodpecker. Image taken with a Nikon D2xs camera and 70-200 mm f/2.8 VR lens (ISO 400, 280 mm, f/4, 1/50 sec).
Male Peacock posing for the camera. Ardastra Gardens, Zoo and Conservation Centre. Image taken with a Nikon D3x camera and 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 200, 145 mm, f/5.6, 1/100 sec).
