I make a mixture of mealworms, peanutbutter and chopped raisins for the bluebirds. Here he is about to get some.

I came inside to change my camera battery becasue it was down to 10%. I don't want to start taking photos and run out of power! I walked over to my hummingbird garden area to see if I might get a shot of the wrens and much to my surprise this indigo bunting flew through.

This is dedicated to all of you who capture these type of images so well and inspire the rest of us.
I like to use f/22 to get as much detail as possible. And, the hummingbirds had already flown so I had time to change the settings. 😉
