Mid telephoto, the sun shining on the bird, a garden full of red flowers and you're good to go. Don't get a feeder in the pic, that's no good.

Rufous

You can also do a two or three flash setup with a one hole feeder and freeze the wings for a different look. You're always balancing the background illumination/ISO with freezing the wings...

2 flash plus popup

Damn, those are good.

How did you get the background so deliciously dark on the first one?

Using flash there too? You must be!

And if so, how did you keep the motion in the wings-drag the shutter?
