Emberiza citrinella

(c) Harry J Lehto

Melanistic Yellowhammer / Melanistinen keltasirkku

Hankasalmi, Finland, Apr 15, 2000
Canon EF 300mm+1.4x f5.6, distance about 10m though a window after sunset.
Kodachrome 64 ISO
Scanned with Nikon Coolscan IV ED scanner from the original slide.

Species identification confirmed by vocalizations (call notes and song).
P.S. The bird died later (flew into the window?) and is now on display in the local museum (Name and location below in Finnish)

Lajimääritys varmistettu sekä kutsuäänistä että laulusta.
P.S. Lintu kuoli myöhemmin ja on nyt näytillä Keski-Suomen luontomuseoon (Jyväskylän Vesitornissa).
