Excellent capture Carolyn! #11298632Michelle Alton May 08, 2015
Lucky you! You've captured an expression that makes this little rainbow bird look almost human in his eye. #11298832Val Feldman May 08, 2015
What a catch! I know how nervous these beautiful birds are at a feeder - the slightest movement and they're gone. Perfect timoing, pose and capture of him, Carolyn! #11298899Carolyn M. Fletcher May 09, 2015
Val is right. They are really hard to get. I am shooting through my living room window, but if I'm not already in a good position when he gets to the feeder, he sees me move and is gone. #11299220Melinda F. Schneider June 06, 2015
