Senior parrots, birds, birding, rock swaps, crystals & stone-cutting. Sometimes I write funny dialogue for the birds in your photographs. I read books, & I vote!

Nikon Z8 + Nikkor 400mm f/4.5
1/640 sec, f5.6, ISO-2800
it was pretty overcast, so i had to go with a pretty slow shutter speed & shallow depth of field but he was working the flowers enough that i got one (out of many) photos that weren’t too motion blurred
autofocus setting was 3D/bird
