A few from the garden

Well it started out to be a few but I couldn't post Mr. G without Mrs. G and I know a lot of folks like hummers so here are some from last week. I was actually trying to get some shots of dragonflies chasing and attacking the hummers but I have to work on that project, I'm a tad too slow on the shutter button. The last one is a female yellowthroat. All were shot with 400mm lens, Nikon D850, at f4, 1/1600th sec to 1/2500th sec at ISO 320 to 500. I was shooting off a tripod and in a blind. The whole time I was photographing this week the dragonflies were attacking the hummers and sometimes the other small birds, that is the first time I ever saw this behavior and was wondering if anyone else has seen that much aggression from the dragonflies? Twice this past week after I packed up and came in for lunch, while eating our lunch we watched a bear, then a coyote pup, and the next day a hen turkey with ten chicks go right past the flower garden. ( Hate to miss those shots!)

Thank you very much Retired CPO, I appreciate your comments and tend to agree about the feeders.

Hi merry, I am grateful for your wonderful compliments. I will certainly be watching for them, I know the bear will be back after our apples and the coyote will probably be back after the baby turkeys. I never know what tomorrow will bring but I try to be outside as much as possible to increase my chances.

Excellent set, Glen and we have hummers, small birds, and dragonflies all close together but haven't witnessed such behavior from the dragons, but now will take a closer look!
