Brown Thrasher

Where: Goode • Bedford County, VA

Equipment: Canon EOS D20 with 100-400mm Zoom L Series Lens with Image Stabilizer (off) • Manfrotto Tripod • Remote Shutter Release and Extension Cable • Dog House Blind • 8' Step Ladder

Exposure: Shutter Speed = 1/80 • Aperture = f 9 ( w/0.67 Bias) • Exposure Mode = Aperture Priority • Lens (Focal) Length = 340 mm • ISO = 400 • Aprox. Camera Distance = ~12 Feet • Date Shot: 06-10-06

Notes: I happened upon this Brown Thrasher nest along a neighbors fence row. It seemed as if one of the adults always stayed in the immediate nest area while the other foraged for food. I was amazed at the amount of visible change in the chicks size and growth there was from one day to the next.
