Lovely shot. I especially like that it was photographed in a natural setting rather than at a feeder. Care to share your set-up for this shot?
Thanks suesue! nothing special; I was just in the back yard waiting, and waiting and waiting. Not the best time with the evening sun and man these little guys are fast! They seem to like the butterfly bushes. So...get a butterfly bush and be patient!

Nice!
We hope to have some plants they like by spring. Our butterfly bush died. Right now all we have is a feeder.
