Oh man Al, I know how difficult these guys are and you do well. They are totally gorgeous birds. I have managed to capture a few in flight.

This is super nice and you capture it well Al. In my nick of the woods getting close to these is next to impossible. Did you use a long lens?

Pat I was using my tamron 70-200 but was about 4 feet away. Its got an insane close focusing distance of about 3 feet. .. Really has become my go to lens for nature shots.

That is a super nice working distance Al. Beats the heck out of the 200-500 which is about eight feet away for close ups.

Re: Migration in full swing
That's what it looks like to me. I have them all over my wire weed in the pasture which I would despise otherwise as there is no way I can be rid of it. I also have a ton of spice bush swallow tails that adore my phlox.
