no patiente..., for me is easier catch nice se?oritas on the streets...

Saludos cordiales

Asunto: [Leica] IMG: Brown Creeper

Last weekend's family activities left little time for my usual sort of
photography but I did find in a forested park for an hour or so, where I
photographed a Brown Creeper:

Technically this is not one of my best, I'm posting this photo because I'm
excited that I got ANY picture of the bird.  The Brown Creeper is a tiny
perpetual motion organism: starting at the bottom of a tree it spirals up
the tree at full speed while searching crevices for insect snacks; reaching
the upper parts of the tree, the creeper then drops to another tree to
repeat the process.  Lighting in the forest is dim, the spiral climb puts
the bird out of range in a matter of seconds,  and there's really no telling
which tree the bird will drop to next.  Most photos were deleted due to
subject motion.

technical stuff: R8/DMR, 560mm f/6.8, ISO 800, 1/180 sec @ f/6.8

All comments welcome.
