Ever get those days where the birdies seem a tad slower.
Just kinda hang an extra sec or so, so you can get one off :scratch :ivar
Well it was that way for me, mind ya they weren't doing much :rofl

Bckyrd Hummer hung for a bit

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Spectacular Ben. I don't know how you captured that tree swallow in flight. I am still trying to get one of those shots. Your perches are nice. However your scrubjay is a northern mockingbird. mwink.gif
