Backyard Spring Nature in New Jersey.

American Robin Swallowing a Worm (or is it a Catapiller?). I’ve been trying to figure out what the Robins and Crows have been finding to eat in my backyard. Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 1600, 600 mm, f/4, 1/2000 sec). Note this is a 100% crop.

Backyard Spring Nature in New Jersey.

Carpenter Bee in Flight. Image taken with a Nikon Df camera and 300 mm f/4 lens (ISO 800, 300 mm, f/4, 1/640 sec). This is a crop from the full image. I did this hand-held, and had to manually focus. No VR with this lens. So lots of out of focus images to get one or two in focus.
