Birdwatching, Johan Lindén
This page contains pictures of birds of North America
On this page I've put a selection of pictures taken using my Olympus
C-830L 1.3 Mpixel digital camera. The pictures were shot through an old Hakko
telescope with a magnification of 20. The combination of the telescope and
the camera correspond to an ordinary system camera (with 35 mm film)
equipped with a 700 mm
tele lens. All pictures were North America, mainly in Ann Arbor Michigan in Aug. 2001, when I attended a conference there. Thanks to the jet lag I enjoyed two hours of birding every morning before breakfast in the nearby Nichol's Arboretum.
Click the thumbnails for a magnified picture. The naming of the pictures
follows a 3+3 latin system, comonly used in Finland, but with no
consideration for overlaps, e. g. Carcar is in fact used for European
Goldfinch (carduelis carduelis) not Northern cardinal (cardinalis
cardinalis). Car_lis would be a possibility, not used here...
