Carolina Wren
Date Submitted: January 1, 2009
Observer: Josh Simons
Observation Date: 1/1/09
Observation Time: 2:00 p.m.
Observation Location: Moose Hill Parkway
Plant or Animal? Animal
Common Name: Carolina Wren
Scientific Name: Thryothorus ludovicianus
Comments: This and the titmouse and junco photos were all taken with a Canon 50D and a Canon 500mm f4 lens from the comfort of my kitchen on Moose Hill Parkway. We have feeders that attract lots of birds who land on a nearby lilac bush while waiting for their turn at the feeders.
In terms of processing, I use very little. The images are cropped and very small adjustments are made to exposure and contrast with sometimes a little extra sharpening applied.
That and the nice, slanting winter sunlight are all there is to it.
