This is such a complicated question. We would consider it very horrible to feed the birds at our wetlands - but the neighborhoods next door have bird feeders. So what disrupts natural behavior? In Maine it is illegal and consider "terrible unethical" to bait deer for hunting, and yet it is perfectly legal to attract bears with donuts and then kill them. No one there really seemed to appreciate the total hypocrisy of that....
You are right sb, it is unethical to bait deer and it is just as unethical to bait bears with donuts and shoot them. I don't see much of a relationship anymore between legal and ethical. There is money to be made from hunters who wish to pay a fee, climb up in a tree stand and shoot the bear when he comes in for the donuts. Then they go home and tell their friends how great a hunter they are. I am not against hunting whatsoever, however that is not hunting or fair chase in my opinion.

Yellowthroat, hummingbird, Red spotted purple butterfly and Buckeye. The two birds were shot with 400mm lens f4 at 1/1600th sec. The butterflies were shot with 200mm lens f8 at 1/250th sec.

It depends on what I'm shooting, I switch frequently. Lot of times I'm in evaluative, but switch to spot a lot, then there are times I use a meter!

I am in total agreement, many of the great shots of raptors and whitetails are setups and should be presented as such. In Pa. the deer herd and elk herd are currently at risk of being decimated by CWD (chronic wasting disease) which originated from deer farm escapees. The deer farms are where many of the big buck photos come from. A photo taken in the wilds under natural conditions is a different commodity from setup and zoo pictures. A great deal of time and work is involved to obtain real shots of wildlife under natural conditions. By using pet store mice to lure owls in, what diseases might be introduced to the local population?

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!
Thank you Swamp-Cork, let me know if you would if you see that behavior because I have not seen it before or read about it

Glen, what is the plant in that first photo?
That is called Lambs Ear, if you would see the basil leaves near the ground they look just like a fuzzy lambs ear except for being a little more green. The hummers really seem to like them, I like to shoot them when I have a bright overcast, if it's direct light (sunny) it can be hard not to blow out the highlights when the bird is exposed properly.
