End of the Rainbow

Except our pot of gold is embodied in the birds.  Our Goldfinches have produced the first batch of youngsters and these three feeders are almost continuously mobbed.  While this looks busy, I've seen it much more so.  Most of these are the juveniles, but there are a few of the adults tucked in as well.  Normally the feeders are spread out over 8-10 feet, but I bunched them up for the photograph-it didn't seem to bother the birds a bit.  It's difficult to count them, but we often have at least 100 in the feeder area and immediate surroundings and lots more in the general area.  It kind of masks the disappearance of many other species as they start to migrate out.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 313 mm, tripod with ballhead and Sidekick, f/8, 1/160, iso 2500, aperture priority, pattern metering.  Processed in LR & PS CC.  A very slight crop to eliminate the upper edge of the rail at one spot.  Taken on August 13th at 6:35 am under a heavy smoke haze. 

Comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

Thanks,
