It must produce a lot of glare in the camera to deal with, although it's not evident in your photos. Do you work with certain settings for these conditions? The white backgrounds certainly make the birds plumage colours even more striking I'd say; they're just beautiful.

Spectacular to say the least.<br />I wonder, have you seen "Nanook of the North," the 1922 silent documentary about the Inuit people up around James Bay not to many hundreds of klicks North of you? A favorite piece of cinema for me. <br />My best to you, Boom, and the amazing finches of the Vermilon River valley!

I think the females' striations are gorgeous. Our males are nowhere near as PURPLE as what I'm seeing here.
