p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · The Rubies are Back !

Looked out the window this morning and saw 2 male rubies , the first ones this year ! So exciting to see them return.

They didn't make it easy to get their photos as they stayed in the cover of the bottle brush or sweet olive tree. I waited a couple of hours and got just a few. The light was not great and then there was the 15 mile per hour wind that kept blowing the branches in front of the birds

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

Thank you for looking, and do hope you enjoy.

Glad to hear your hummers are back, I saw my first Rufous of the year here today as well. I really like the unique view in number 2.

Hmm, all at 300mm, relatively low shutter speed and low ISO...I would say you are in mid season form....nice to have those guys back I'm sure. Super detail and comps as well.

If it was easy then everyone would be taking pics like these.

Nicely done under less than ideal conditions Birdie, impressive work at 300mm... #1 is a beauty.

So glad they've returned for you.
