So very beautiful. Our martins at Equality, Al aren't building yet but they appear to be getting in the mood. Would you share the type camera that produced those wonderful photos?

Bill I am using a Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG APOMacro HSM II - Telephoto Zoom Lenses It should work on any good SLR camera. It works well in up close low light conditions. Note that the first 3 pics have no shadows because the sun was behind a cloud. Also, finding a way to get close is very important. These pics were taken between 8-10 ft.
