Here is the EXIF for those who wanted it. I use natural lighting as much as possible on my shots. I don't like to use flash because it just doesn't look natural to me, just my personal opinion.
Feeder positioned so BG was 50 yards away. BG colors illuminated and caused by sunset. Bird in shade.
In total we have Three male Rufous, One female Rufous, One female Anna's, One male Anna's.
