p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Acorn for Acorn


During Summer and Fall, I was on a mission of searching the California Condor
along Big Sur Coast line. I was driving up and down the coast line of 15 miles stretch
for few hours but didn't see any California Condor. My friend and I stopped by the restaurant
named Napenthe for lunch. And there we go. We saw the Acorn woodpeckers came every 2 minutes
with acorns to store. I got lunch to finish and asked the restaurant owner for permission bringing
our gear inside their yard for photograph the Acorn Woodpecker; the woodpecker that I only see
from long distance.

Here are shots taken with 1D4 + 500 F4 + 1.4x II TC. I wished I have 300 for some IF. 700mm was
too long to track them.

Happy New Year to all FMers and your family. Wish the New Year will bring to you all the best.

Killer set Tam. You got lots of nice poses from that woody. Too many good ones for picks.

An extra nice set Tam. I started making picks, but picked most of them, so no picks. You should send the restaurant owner an 8X10 "suitable for framing" for a thank you. If you sell your photos, include a business card ~ Ron

A touch smaller than a condor, but still a good subject that you captured nicely. Well done Tam.

Extra nice set, Tam. These look great with beautiful colors and detail of a bird you hardly see posted

Thanks very much, Ron. That is a a great idea; but I am not sure if the restaurant owner likes birds as we do.
