Canon 1D-X, 500mm f4, handheld
f14, 1/120, ISO2000

Another photo from St. Paul Island. This one from the rookery at Ridgewall Cliffs. A moderately uncommon bird there, I understand.

50% crop. Slight adjustment to levels. Selective sharpening.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.

Interesting that they are all looking in different directions. Fairly decent perimeter defense :biggrin: Nice work Jim, wonderful species to record!
