Oh, isn't that little one a darlin?! They seem to move and dart from one spot to another so quickly, you are lucky, and talented, to get these shots! Bravo!

Now tell me that you dangled seeds of your lens to get 'em close..., huh? Huh? 5 times so far I tried to get either one of them, and always drew blanks! Perfect captures!

How congenial! Very exceptional to see the bird at the top, the ones we have related to that bird only reaches about 10" in overall length. Excellent color.
