Eastern Kingbird
This flycatcher stopped in front of the Post Office to sing, so I pulled out the old Canon and snapped a few pics. It was just past noon so the light, while intense, was largely from above.

40D, 100-400@400mm, f5.6, 1/1600, ISO 320, cropped.

Another great one. I don't ever know what to really say about your images, I think they are all great. I have very little experience shooting birds, but I understand how difficult it can be.

Your name came up a few times at the gathering, all good things. I think you have just about everyone impressed with your images.

Another great shot! The western Kingbird is probably my favorite bird...When I was growing up and had to mow the yard they would follow me around and catch bugs that the mower scared up. Thanks for sharing this shot!
