It was early morning on an overcast day. I do find that reds are super saturated under those conditions. I probably should have toned it down a bit, but I took it on the way into work one morning and had to hurry and send it out to some friends to show that I finally *got* one. :-)

Just goes to show you do not need nectar feeders :)
You can always use plants.
I have a Fire Bush and several other plants that they just love and hang around all the time. But I also have 4 nectar feeders out.

I also wanted to get a few good shots this year b4 the birds passed on. I don't have a feeder so I sat at my Grandmothers house for 2 hours until I got these 2 photos :) Hope to get more and better ones next year.

Hi, I'm happy that you like these shots. For all the shots, the shutter speed was 1/1000 sec, which is the maximum that my camera can do. ISO was either 800 or 400.

Spent a couple of hours at my feeder this summer to get these. Set manual focus to range just in front of feeder and shutter to 1/1000 sec. Bright sunny day.

Crop the feeder out of this one and it seems to tell a very different story!
Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

One problem I have is that the orioles also like the nectar and they break the flowers off the feeders so that they can get at the nectar also.

They must soup last I checked Ottawa was north of Vermont, not nearly as pretty though.I don`t think they break flowers in the garden but they have to on the hummer feeders as their beaks are way to large to fit in otherwise!
