Nov 11, 2007 10:56 | #1 The lighting was terrible so the shutter speed was way down but I went ahead anyway and shot this Green-fronted Lancebill who I´ve never seen at the feeder before and figured I may not see again. With that bill he certainly can´t sit for his meal like the others...  ...but he manages!  Hopefully he´ll come back when the sun´s out.
