BIRDS AT THE ZOO...

Some various birds at the zoo. I'm convinced that all birds in southern California have signed a "let's make Steve's life difficult" pact, because they were pretty challenging to shoot:

Wow the detail of the feathers on the neck of the Flamingo are amazing. Which lens did you use and how far away were you?

What are the last two birds?

The Flamingo was shot with the 70-300mm Quantary Cheese lens.

I have no idea what kind of birds the other two are, but they were both shot with the 85mm f/1.8. If I were to guess what kind they are, I'd say a black one and a white one. This is why people don't come to me for technical expertise...
