p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · The Rubies


Have really been enjoying all the shots from Costa Rica/ Ecuador from Geoff and Juan.

Here a few of the rubies that are still visiting the garden. They may not be as color as their counterparts south of the border, but are fun to watch and shoot

The first is a rare shot for me, 2 on the same branch. They sat still for about 2 seconds, long enough for me to get a shot of each one . Then they spent the next several minutes chasing each other around.

As always your suggestions, nits and crits are most appreciated.

Thank you for looking and commenting.

Hope you enjoy,

Birdie

2 males at the same time must have required some very fast shooting. Well done, Birdie.

Lovley set Roberta.

What we need is for our friends that go south of the border to go there, chase all the stunning birds north and then let someone build a wall so they can't go back.

Beautiful shots Birdie. Even in CR it is a good day when you get two together on one perch.

Those are some sweet pictures. Roberta, I think you are one of a few N&W contributors who rule this board with consistently high quality.

I'm jealous, and may have to move south to LA. So far I've had only 1 female come through our area here in North Texas.

Very nice photos, the natural light gives a totally different view than flash systems.

Thank you. I wish I had been quick enough to get the shot of the one in the lower part when he turned to face the other guy and was all crouched down !

I wish I could Douglas. I did have around 6 of them . Not I am only seeing 2 or 3, so maybe they are moving your way.

Thanks so much Gene. The numbers seem down here as well. I did use fill flash. However I am using the MagMod wildlife kit. I do like how it seems to soften the flash .

The colors in your garden are magical Birdie, and provide a beautiful canvas for the Rubies.
Congrats on the great look at both birds in #1, and #3 is my favorite of the others.
Terrific work as always... so pretty.

A ruby in the rough; that is you.
I await your rejects here in the north.
