Good on you Pax2you.. the fresh air will do you good. Back years ago I had a encounter with a fairly talented photog who had some stuff in magazines, He knew he had the answer's to the best photography images " Ever " He told me that If I was going to seriously shoot birds I needed to get a flash rig setup. I agreed and proceeded to shoot. those images I took have been used by quite a few online magazines and the national audubon society... So my answer is never say never and no one answer is king.

So flash if you must... we won't hold it against you lol

I just let them be what ever they are.

Ha, ha, ha...That is definitely funny! Put a sign up saying, "no peckerwoods allowed." Great shot by the way, Tom.

Thanks Mike...

These guys really like to get their beaks into the nectar of these flowers. It's also hard to keep them away from my hummingbird feeder.

Well, on the other hand you have the Common Kingfisher... drool-worthy bird. We get the subdued Belted variety. Yawn. ;-)a

Well that's true, it's also something I've only managed to photograph a couple of times which is something I plan to work on rectifying very soon.....
