Your photos are hurting BKD productivity. Many of the CPA's wondered what I was looking at as they passed down the hall - so they came in to view the incredible photos - AMAZING!! How do you do it?

mayfly 0774

Hexagenia limbata...probably. We don't see these up here until the middle/end of June. That's the time to be trout fishing at dusk.

What glass were you using on this? There's excellent DOF. I'm assuming it was a long lens at f/5.6 or so to get that kind of depth. I've tried shooting with the 105mm Macro and to get this close, I lose all sorts of depth of field in macro mode. I thought I'd try it again with the 200mm at a greater distance. Any hints? There are no Exif details to help me out.

Check out the Hexagenia I shot two summer's ago in Michigan: http://public.fotki.com/LesTension/fauna/insectsother_arthropods/hexagenia_sp_04.html

Mike,

180mm lens on 1.3 crop factor sensor at about f8 or f11. Exif info at office. Can't readily see how to include exif info in Fotki. Is there a particular setting within FOTKI settings?

red headed woodpecker 3144

Melanerpes erythrocephalus. This is a FANTASTIC shot Al. We used to see a LOT of these birds when I was a kid; it's rare to see one around here now. I guess insecticides have taken their toll.

Hirundo rustica. I love to watch the effortless flight of these birds.

prothonotary warbler 3472

Protonotaria citrea. Beautiful.

Mike,

This guy landed twice on the front of my lens hood while I was in a blind. He is a gorgeous little bird and looks smaller up close. This is the fourth strait year these warblers have nested on our lake home porch.

Bombycilla cedorum. I love the subtle colors on this bird.

Good one Al. I haven't been on a chicken lek for a long time. Not since college in 1965 at the Buena Vista Marsh.
