AMERICAN GOLDFINCH, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, APRIL 26, 2009
Pentax *ist DS
Sigma APO 135-400 at 340mm
1/60 sec. f8
ISO 400
Even seen through a long lens this bird, one of the most colorful in the American bestiary, is tiny, smaller than a sparrow. But I was delighted to capture it, even at a distance on a dull, rainy day, because of its brilliant spring breeding colors. (Click the photo for a larger version.)
