GreatBirdPic of the female Ruby-throated! I tend to do the opposite – find a bird and hope it ends up in a good location. You select a good location and wait for a bird. As a result you end up with much better photos. Something to think about…
Thanks Mike,, I guess I’ve got time to sit and wait, or just lazy. Lol
