Nice work Bob....our Ruby Throats are so competitive they would never share a feeder like that.
The young Cardinals are molting into adult plumage and they are hungry! I had 6 at one time on the feeder today.

Love the shot Joel, But I have a question----Did you give up on ETTL? I noticed you shot at 1/32 flash vs -2 2/3---What prompted the switch?Originally Posted by Joel Eade

Well....it was actually a boo-boo....I failed to check my settings beforehand and I had left the flash set on manual for the HB's. I shot a couple frames of the Cardinal without flash and it (the histogram) looked a little underexposed so I reached up and flipped it on and took a few more frames while it was posing nicely.
After the bird left I looked at the settings and it was on manual 1/32, it worked pretty well though
