spotted a pretty ruby this morning, but it stayed hidden in the shadows because of the pushy little rufous guarding the duranta. I took a mess of pics, but had to really work to get anything near passable.
@Rodbender -- I think you id'd this before, but the original post perished with the old Birds thread. A solitary sandpiper? Water edge feeder and quite skittish.
Works for me -- I know I've missed things that deserve a close look. And I can stop worrying about folks getting bored; having a separate thread will make it easier to skip to the good stuff.
The pics are pretty lousy, but this guy was small and hopping all over the tree. I haven't a clue what it is, but that red crest was brilliant in the sun
