I had 3 weeks off for the spring migration. I took over 40,000 photos and basically lost all of them, when my puppy pulled my laptop off the end table with external HD attached. I was pretty much out every day from sunrise to sunset and just too busy to back up the data. Oh well, lesson learned. I did grab a few from some of the days and edit them, thankfully. Anyway, I still got out several days after that and a few more days this week. I got a few more decent birds. 7Dmk ll / EF600 F4 ll / 1.4x lll

Those are great! Is it rare for a cardinal to get to your area?

More Hummingbirds. R7 with RF 200-800.


This Rufus just showed up. Kind of shy, but caught him on the wing.

They seem to like the shiny new welding rod perch over the feeder.
