Default Coming in for a landing
I was playing around with my zoom lens and new tripod this weekend and as I was trying to time the "snacking bird" --surprise, to my amazement I caught another bird coming in for a landing. I think it looks pretty cool.


Caught in the act

One of my most fun pasttimes is watching and shooting hummingbirds at my inlaws feeders. Your picture reminds me of those times. Thanks for sharing.
