Incoming! Mr. Ruby-throat flying aroung the yard by Marjorie Morrison Via Flickr: I have 6 feeders around the yard, and one is located where I can sit in the shade while the flower garden and feeder are in the sun. That works for a little over an hour and it's one of the nicest times of the day. I'm still using my Sigma 100-400 lens because of my shoulder/arm injury and greatly appreciate when the birds fly closer. Lowell Township, Michigan Thanks for taking a look at my images. I am most grateful.
