Fall Migration

Mercifual Heavens!   Planet Earth has sprinted through space and now reached a point in space and time in which literally maybe 50 or two fifties of birds may be migrating across human habitat.  Like here at the CB, we have already espied four migrants.  That's four for the fatally afflicted Crumby Ovate.  The four are two Wilson's warblers, one probable Lincoln's sparrow and this male ruby-throat that is currently tussling for position with hoards of  sexually ambiguous black-chins. 

For this picture Ray employed the 480ex II flash, plus the Better Beamer (BB).  The BB definitely gets itsha lit up.  Plus and mercy,  the ruby-throat is still flying around outside.  Apparently the flash did not blind him or cause him to need to use a cane or take piano lessons; a legitimate concern.
