We were out biking along the Rillito and Santa Cruz bike paths on Sunday afternoon. The Santa Cruz bike path on the east bank takes you right past the Sweetwater Wetlands Park. The wetlands include some small lakes where birds really love to hang out.
This shot shows the abundance of birds hanging out at the Wetlands. This shot was taken at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/3000 seconds at f/11, ISO 800.
Catching birds in flight was surprisingly difficult considering how often the birds would take off - usually just out of frame. This image was taken at 1/1500 seconds at f/11, ISO 800 at 300mm focal length.
A flock flies past the area in this frame. This image was taken at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/4000 seconds at f/11, ISO 800.
A few miles down the bike path heading towards Speedway, we came upon this hawk who watched us carefully as we stopped to admire him. Of course, while I was adjusting my camera, he actually flew off. This image was taken at 300mm focal length with an exposure of 1/1000 seconds at f/11, ISO 800.
