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.
