Hookeye Posted May 31, 2014 Share #6 Â Posted May 31, 2014 I know what you mean. Enjoying the early summer on your terrace. A good chair. Binoculars. A drink with some icecubes. Rigging up your camera on a tripod. A crossword puzzle to pass the time. Wait, wait and shoot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northwest Wanderer Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share #8 Â Posted May 31, 2014 Hookeye & Francois. Thank you. Â Hookeye, I just refilled the bird feeder and they buzzed around me impatiently. Nothing shy about these little guys when they want their sugar water. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted May 31, 2014 Share #9  Posted May 31, 2014 Hookeye & Francois. Thank you. Hookeye, I just refilled the bird feeder and they buzzed around me impatiently. Nothing shy about these little guys when they want their sugar water.  Great catch, Bill.  They sound like the Baltimore Orioles that I seem have addicted to grape jelly in our back garden. I put out a fresh scoop and just stand back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
