Montana Spring Birds

April 21, 2014 by Jason Savage 7 Comments

Yellow-headed Blackbirds
Yellow-headed Blackbirds, Montana.

It’s nice to see that spring has finally arrived! As on cue hundreds of yellow-headed blackbirds showed up last night near Helena, putting on an awesome show. It was great to finally see some color out there against our dull, brown, April landscapes we’ve had here in Montana. I’ll be out photographing sandhill cranes over the next couple weeks and hopefully I’ll have some more new Spring arrivals to share with you.

Canon 1DX Autofocus

Montana Wood Duck, Canon 1DX

The other day I finally had to peel my eyeballs off the computer monitor and take a break from seemingly endless days of photo editing. Whenever I need a quick break to recharge and clear me eyes, the local duck pond is usually where I head just down the road from my house.
On this evening we had the last of our winter storm lingering with some pretty cold temps, but nice evening light. I shot this image at about -15f while laying out on the ice to get eye level with some of the ducks.

One thing that I have been increasingly impressed with is the Canon 1DX’s quick reaction time when using multi-point autofocus. In this case I had my multi-points right on the wood duck anticipating his lift off and in a split second having to move the camera to keep up, hoping my autofocus points would follow along on the duck and keep focus. This would be a case with some systems where it would be hit or miss, but the 1DX continues to impress me with its accurate and blazingly quick reaction times. Looking forward to more birds this spring with the 1DX!

Montana Photography Workshop

Back from teaching my Seeley Lake Workshop in Montana, no cell or wifi for a few days, kind of nice! Had a fantastic time with a wonderful group. Things are spectacular in northwestern Montana right now, fall colors, snow-capped peaks, and some amazing aspens, such as this one.

Fall colors are going strong in Montana right now. Photographed this aspen stand not too far from home last night just after sunset.
