In spite of some challenges with a few flashes that didn't want to play nice together I came away with a few shots I was happy with. These guy are very tenacious when around the feeder and are very noisy flyers.  I love the tail bob split they do when hovering.  Next year maybe I'll tackle incorporating some flowers.
1DX 100-400@ 400  4 flash setup.
