If you go down to the woods today……
Campbell Valley Park.
A Varied thrush flips over leaves looking for insects, a pair of brown creepers make their way up and down a pair of moss covered stumps, chestnut-backed chickadees scout for a nest site. (See these images below)
An hour has passed and I 'm still photographing in the parking lot!
The real purpose of the days shoot was to find a Winter wren and finally nail a decent shot for my website.
I had had success with both the Bewick's and the House wren but the diminutive and quick moving Winter wren had been a hard one to nail.
I knew that by early spring, deep in the forest, the wrens would singing their hearts out and would be easy to locate, within minutes I had found a pair. The light on the forest floor was low so I added a little fill flash to freeze the peak action. I had to wait until the bird alighted on something with a decent foreground and background before composing and releasing the shutter.
A few more shots from the same morning.
