Today I moved closer to the flowers. The first time the bird came to the garden she was unsure about me and left quickly. I waited until she came back and stayed long enough for me to get some shots.
This was taken with a Nikon 200-500 mm lens at 500 mm (750 mm equivalent) at f6.3, 1/2500th of a second, and ISO at 1600. The camera was a Nikon D7200. I was standing about six feet away from the flower and the camera was on a tripod with a gimbal head.
