Nikon D7100 with the Nikon 18-300mm
it was towards sunset and I was loosing light but still wanted to freeze the wings. There was a jelly feeder right below him and i was standing in the patio doorway, so I was about 15-20 feet away
I was at F 5.6, ISO 2500, and shutter was 1/2000
The F 5.6 gave me that shallow depth of field but by accident the blurred out bird in the background added to the shot in my opinion.

I had 4 pairs this spring, but now they are nesting and not coming to the feeder much. I did have one yesterday. They love grape jelly.
here is another pic for you, I am not sure if they were fighting over a female or the jelly....I think it was the jelly.
