Description
At a friend's party in the Santa Cruz mountains a couple days ago, this little guy was vociferously defending his feeder from the attentions of all the visitors. He gave me a good half-dozen chances to get this capture, which was at full 432mm zoom, 1/1000 sec., and minimum flash intensity.
The result is a larger-than-lifesize image!
