Getting good shots of them from the VC deck is not easy, and the feeders are deep in the shadows of the vegetation, but it is such a treat for me, as one who does not often see this stunning bird, to see them whenever I visit the Space Coast Birding and Nature Festival. Not that I see them every year&#8230;but it is always worth a visit to the VC to see if they are there and showing. This shot was taken through quite dense bushes between the deck and the feeder. I had to maneuver to find a small hole with enough of a view to focus. Sony RX10iv at 600mm. Program mode. 1\/250 @ ISO 1250 @ f4.
