the little birds are back and my deck is rebuilt so I have a place to take their picture again. please enjoy.
I have never seen one of these lovely birds. Thank you for sharing your pictures.
Love these little guys, I hope to get some photo's of mine this year. They aren't really too shy and they've come around but always when my camera isn't...
A very beautiful set, sterrill!
Thanks for the kind replies.
Excellent shots, sterrill! They're beautiful!
These are wonderful!! What beautiful light on them to catch those exquisite colors! What fun you must be having! SO enjoyable!
Thanks for looking. I do really enjoy catching these birds so to speak. Someday I want to catch some other species.

You might enjoy trying to get them to land on you. Sometimes they're very eager for the last feeding of the evening before they go off to roost. If you wrap your fingers around the feeder, they'll perch on you as they feed. It takes a bit of patience, and holding still, but it doesn't take long before they get up enough nerve and trust to land. It's quite a thrill. The only problem is getting shots while you're playing statue. Unless you have someone to get the shots or some kind of remote rigged up, you'll just have to enjoy the experience with nothing to prove it.
Have fun with your wonderful little birds.
