Black Necked Stilt



I couldn't decide which of these photos of the Black Necked Stilt I liked the best, so I posted both of them. Arizona is not known for its water birds, but it should be. We have a huge population of local water birds and a lot that migrate through Arizona. These photos are taken with a 300mm telephoto lens. It would be nice to have a 400mm or 500mm lens but they get awfully expensive and even the expensive ones lose a lot of f-stops. Unless the sun is bright, you have to have a tripod or shoot with a higher ISO because you get a lot of camera movement with a long lens. If you click on these photos you can see a lot more detail.
