This week's motif is "IMMATURE BIRD(S)" - please post your photos here of immature birds (for the purpose of this motif, immature is any stage between egghood and adulthood. ;D)
The Sigmonster Tamer suggested this week's motif.
Posting is voluntary, and if your bird pics don't fit the week's motif, you can post these as usual in the Bird Photos section. Only mods can open new motif threads, but all members can post and even guests can view the posts. Multiple posts are allowed too.
Let's post shooting info and standardize our presentation (see format of my first post) so viewers will know how the photo was taken:
Common name (scientific name)
Place and date of capture
Shooting detail.

An immature male mallard(anas platyrhynchos), still lacking the adult plumage, yet to earn his colors. ;D Sacramento, CA (Nimbus Dam), April 12, 2008 Hand held D300 , with the oldie AF 75-300/4.5-5.6 @120mm, F/7.1, 1/500s, ISO 200. Tough situation if I remembered it right, sun was high and almost blew the highlights. And no way to check it until you're infront of the computer. My first motif pic, so be kind.   |
