    awesome. too often we see HB’s at feeders. this “in the wild” shot of one feeding is superb. i commend your patience in capturing this as its not a shot you can get without knowing your subjects habits and schedule then waiting, waiting….

    bravo!

  • Jokus replied

    WOW J.K. Thank you so very much for the great compliment! You just saw it so very well and I agree its not easy to get a HB in the wild and yes a lot of patient to get the shot …. waiting and waiting … and its worth to wait!!!
    So happy with your comment and Fav … so very sweet of you!
