Vermilion Flycatcher
by Dennis Plank
I stopped at Sierra Vista/Fort Huachuca in March primarily to visit The Nature Conservancy's Ramsey Canyon Preserve in search of hummingbirds. It turned out that I was too early for hummingbirds, but I accidentally discovered the San Pedro River Riparian Area with Green Kingfisher Pond and this wonderful bird. I ended up spending three mornings and one afternoon there (the fishermen were there by afternoon, so it wasn't really productive). It's now on my short list for revisiting.
7D2, 500mm f4 ISL + 2.0 TC, Jobu Gimbal on RRs legs, f/8, 1/8000, iso 800, aperture priority, center-weighted average metering, -1/3 EV. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Cropped from a horizontal original to 8.6 Mpixels. A couple of excess twigs cloned out. Taken March 11th at 9:00 AM.
Comments are always appreciated.
