I was in the blind hoping to get a few decent shots of the juvi Red-head, but it's so skittish that it flew on the sound of the shutter... (sigh). I did find a Rose of Sharon bloom that staid put no matter what I did.
And a couple more just because.

Thanx for looking, and comment if you'd like ~ Ron

The backlighting on the Rose of Sharon gives it a lot of depth and that's a great shot of the Pileated Ron.

Brings back great memories buddy...............and Thanks for the floral remembrance
Technically that is an excellent presentation, it really has a lot of character with the lighting and dimensions. Also I noticed you used the 'long floral lens' for this one............sweeeeeeet

Is #2 a juvi redhead or red bellied? You nailed the focus!
I am getting the urge again to shoot...............I just need some equipment again !

Take care, the nice time of the year is approaching
Best to you Ron and thanks again........

Thanx Geoff. I sometimes see critters flinch when shooting with the 1D4 at a close distance.

Thanx Karl. I think you should trade in some chemical weapons for optical weapons. As far as lens choice - I was in the blind waiting for the juvi Red Head and glanced at the flower and noticed it was occasionally being lit up through the trees as the sun moved to the west. Knowing the Red Heads were skittish, I didn't want to risk scaring them by moving the lens. However, when I spooked the RHs anyway, I moved the 500 and took a few shots as the light changed.
I'm pretty sure that's a juvi Red Bellied because it showed up with adult RBs. The juvi RH looks much like the adults except it has a very dark gray head.

I'm a sucker for a well-done Pileated Ron and that one's a beauty! I agree with reko that even though it wasn't your 'target species', that Rose of Sharon is particularly nice with that beautiful backlight on petals and leaves. Sometimes we just have to play the hand that's dealt us, eh?

Nice work; thanks for posting.
