Thanks Jim - The early bird appears to maintain position until full at least.

Thanks nightscot - they are very small indeed. I had the cable remote on a tripod with the Bigma about 3 feet from the feeder. It was set up to take 5 shots in a row then a 10 second pause repeat this 20 times for a total of 100 shots.

Dave,

I've been seeing this alot lately around the feeders. I'm just not motivated enough to capture it. I also have a tiny little hummingbird that has been running off all the other hummingbirds that come to my fire bush....LOL. Great series.

It would be cool to see that high speed fight though

Very nice series Dave, glad that you had the patience. It's a very familiar scenario around here as well just haven't been motivated to capture it.

Thanks for posting the series,
