Rejuvenation - 17 Aug 2015

An early evening rain shower brought a pair of juvenile Ruby-throated Hummingbirds to the yard. I spent a half-hour watching them chase each other through the bushes, then take on the flock of sparrows near the sunflower feeder. No fear...

Despite the low-light conditions I had a ball digiscoping the birds from the shelter of the back window. Even though I had pretty-good luck digiscoping birds while in California, I was a bit disappointed in the overall quality of pics taken there. It took these little beauties to restore my confidence in my digiscoping system.
