📷 SteemitPhotoChallenge #42 Entry - Animal Portrait II: "Peek-A-Boo"

[shieha]

Taiwan barbet

This is my second entry for SPC 42, it is a shot of a Taiwan barbet chick, waiting inside a tree for its parents to come back with food. It is an endemic species to Taiwan, and its Chinese name means "five-colored bird".

The equipment I used for this shot was a Canon 450D with a 100-400mm lens at 400mm.

Thank you @gringalicious, I think it's good that the challenge last 2 weeks, gives more time for people to get the shot :)
