put the feeders out yesterday, and this guy showed up. I had decent light, with the sun hitting part of his neck giving me the shimmer, and also flash. shot this with 100-400 at 400, near its MFD, on a monopod, manual focus, 1/200, f13, iso 1000

Very nice Allen's, great detail and color. We don't get many Ruby-throats in California.
