From the week on the South coast (Mass).

                                   Greater Yellowlegs

                                   Male Blue-gray Gnatcatcher

  I took about 90 shots of this little guy, convinced I'd got a winner, not so. They are so damn fast  -this one was  fighting with a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird, he being on her already established territory. Later that morning we are eating breakfast with the door open to the deck and the said Hummingbird flys in and hums for a few seconds and leaves.
