Today my son and went to a new location for us, Yost Park.? I got shots of a pileated woodpacker, varied thrush, and spotted towhee.??It was very difficult taking photos in the shade created by the tall fir trees.? I pumped the ISO up to 3,200 to get the shots,?and?still had to lighten them with the computer at home.

It was the same story?at the fish hatchery, where I?got a shot of a red breasted sapsucker picking an ant off a tree and eating it.?? Again, I had to pump the ISO so high that the shot become horribly grainy when I enlarged it on the computer?to see the ant.
