Great shots, were they done with a flash ? .

Thanks. No flash. The shutter was enough to make these skittish guys flee. I set up on a tripod, manually focused on a spot on the feeder and fired off several shots with a remote release when one got close. It was just a morning with good light. Crop sensor, 200 mm, 1.4 ex and high ISO.
