You can see this feller eyeing a female flying overhead in the final pic, after which he flew off to see if she was impressed.

Hummingbird gorgets (the shiny part) only reflect color at certain angles. They can flex these gorget feathers to change colors and get the attention of not only photographers but female hummingbirds!

Thanks! This little guy was fearless. I guess the bugs on the tree near me were too delicious to resist

Never enough Harlequin Ducks!

A striking waterbird floating on brilliant blue water. The bird features a glossy navy blue head with distinctive white facial markings, a russet accent at the crown, and a gray bill. Its elegant body displays a sophisticated pattern of black, white, and hints of chestnut coloration. The vibrant bird creates gentle ripples as it glides peacefully across the sunlit water surface.

Too many Harlequin Ducks? Oh, well!

They really blur the line. I wouldn't want to be caught with an apple around one of these guys

A tiny bird perched on a thin branch, displaying spectacular iridescent magenta-purple plumage that shimmers with hints of blue and copper when caught in the light. Its most distinctive features include a striking white patch atop its head and a long, slender black bill. The bird's compact size and jewel-like appearance are emphasized against the soft green background, capturing this miniature aerial gem in perfect detail.

Wow that must have been fun to watch! They just don't seem real, such unique birds. I bet the juveniles are so cute

Beats my collection of 2 lenses! Nice gear. A9 + 400-800 sounds like the next upgrade for me

Awesome shot! I got the 200-600 just before the 400-800 was announced. Have you used both? How do they compare?
