Couple of cool finds this evening. I wish I was more comfortable with aperture and shutter settings so I could better compensate for difficult lighting situations. Right now I just leave the camera on "Auto" and hope for the best. Both of these guys were in excess of 75 yards away. I had to zoom all the way in to even see that little hummingbird.

Cedar Waxwing - Mrs BG is sort of a fledgling birder and ID'd this guy as soon as she saw the picture even though she'd never actually seen one.



Black-Chinned Hummingbird. Never heard of it. Mrs BG ID'd this one, too.
