This flicker was photographed at Boundary Bay, south of Vancouver, Canada. In the background are the North Shore Mountains. The Flicker is a shy bird, so it is somewhat difficult to photograph. This image was made with a 400mm lens on a digital camera -- it gives an image magnification of about 12 times. Even with this equipment, the image you see is cropped by about 25% from the original.
The camera recorded the following information in the original image file:
