  7. Band-tailed Pigeon

    Band-tailed Pigeon

    This Pigeon is hard to spot as always runs aways from people. It shows a iridescent patch on the nape and a white semicollar above it. This subespecie "C. f. albilinea" lacks the black tip common on the other subespecies.

    See photo #1 for discussion of Megapixels, steady mount vs. hand-holding, and crop vs. \"zooming up.\" Also, shot taken at lowest ISO-64 on this camera, forcing the slow shutter number, but best grain. I have another frame abt. as good at 1/13 sec. but not as nice composition...

    Following forum discussion of monitor shades AND "hand-holding vs. mounts": I had made the comment I routinely shoot at 1/30 sec now that I've switched to a mount and remote (or cable rel. same). These were a cute cuddling couple by the way. Shot 1 is reduced to abt. 36% of orig. size then...

    This was from my second trip to Mt. Rainier in two weeks. It's only 25 miles from my house as the crow flies but these were the first trips in 15 years. Forgot how interesting it could be.

    Not the sharpest pic, but my first submission to here. These large pigeons make the feeder rock and roll, especially when 3 or 4 of them all try to fit on there at once. :) Neil

    Band Tailed Pigeon This bird, our largest pigeon (L 14.5") and extremely shy, has been decreasing in numbers due to hunting and loss of habitat. We've never seen them here in our area before. Apparently (according to Sibley's) they're expanding their range. They are quite beautiful...
