You are certainly putting your new camera to good(and expert) use! Thanks for sharing your 5 star visual feast.
Wonderful images Chris! I'm really enjoying the Goldfinches though it seems we don't have nearly as many as we used too.
The woodpeckers are here constantly. It's been a bit since I've seen a Hairy but the Downeys are such sweet things. And the Hummers . . . aren't they grand!
