Great shots Douglas!
Please tell me how to get a Ruby-throated.
All I'm seeing are the white-throated (female Rubys I'd bet).
I've only seen one Ruby all summer, but plenty of whites.

Thank you Robert! I think in my yard I have one adult male, one very young one (the last picture) who is starting to develop the red gorget. The adult male perches and hogs the feeders most of the time. I haven't been able to get a shot of him hovering over flowers in good light.

Sure. Here are a few from yesterday at the Velodrome in Trexlertown, PA.

I am. It will be my all around camera. I just got my body a couple of days ago, and spent considerable effort to program it to be as agile for all uses as possible. It is the best camera in that regard I have ever seen. You will soon begin to see images of other uses from me.
Here is a quick flower shot I did while testing my settings for macro work with my Sigma 105 2.8 macro.

I have shot some airshows with it, couldn't have asked for the better camera, the AF, 30FPS and the resolution for cropping. I guess a lot of folks bought it for wildlife for the same reason. I still have an A7RIV that I use for other stuff.

Here are some non bird shots with the A1.
Beautiful. I was getting worried that I purchased a "wildlife only" camera

There is absolutely no reason why the A1 can’t be an outstanding camera for landscape, portraiture or other genres. For me, I paid the premium for the A1’s combination of speed and resolution. If I didn’t shoot birds and airshows, I would not have paid $6500 for a camera. I suspect most folks who post in this thread feel the same way. I am aware some folks bought it for the flash sync speed for portrait but they aren’t posting much here. They are probably pros busy making money with the camera, unlike us birdie hobbyists.
