It would be nice if life were so simple. I've concluded that I will have to
increase DOF before I ever get the male in focus. He always picks a feeding
point that is out of sight from my position, and, with any sudden movement,
he is gone. I think this stems from the fact that the females are always
dominant, and give the males a hard time when they approach the feeder. I
had the pair buzzing by my position this morning, so close that, without my
hearing aid, I could still hear the hum from their wings.
