telyt Posted August 13, 2007 Share #1 Posted August 13, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) just back from Lassen Volcanic National Park where hatch-year Rufous Hummingbirds migrating south are collecting in the few mountain valleys where flowers still bloom. The meadow this bird was in had at least 100 hummingbirds, each claiming and defending feeding territory that overlaps with its neighbors' claims. technical stuff: R8/DMR, 280 f/4 APO with 1.4x APO-Extender-R shoulder stock & monopod 1/3000 sec @ f/5.6 (effective f/8) all comments welcome Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
