Eastern Bluebird at Roy G park. Its good times when the song birds return. They generally take a time off this time of the year exploring the wilderness

One of these days, I am going to get a real sharp picture of the Kingfisher flying at full speed. But until then, these are my best attempts to catch this very shy bird :)

Osprey taking its catch to a safe place to eat. Photography in cloudy conditions is hard. The faster shutter speed reduces the amount of light. You need steady hands to shoot with slower shutter speeds. Austin, TX

Osprey with her giant talons looking for fish at river Colorado in Austin, TX. The fish were in plenty because she (assuming based on her size) did get a big catch.

This Osprey had a nice catch this morning. He enjoyed the head but couldnt enjoy the rest because of the invasive species called Humans. He then flew away with his catch to another location.

The female Common Yellowthroat Warbler like almost every other bird is not as striking as the male. But she gave me a photo pose the male did not for all the time they were around me in Austin, TX

Its just the start of trees starting to give the faint Fall like appearance in Austin, TX. This Cardinal was trying to eat leaves presumably before they fall off.

Blue Jays are one of the most common birds in North America. But I rarely get to see them and have never got a good photograph of one of them untill I saw this bird in Meramic Springs by Rolla, MO

Downy Woodpecker in Rolla, MO. This was one of three different types of woodpeckers I saw.

This one knew the concept of lighting and background in photography and tried to give me the best one.

Rolla, MO might be the middle of nowhere for most humans but not for birds. They were in plenty enjoying life there.
This Red Headed Woodpecker was making the most of his early morning on Saturday.

This Ruby Throated hung around for two days and got very comfortable with me being around. I could take 200 plus shots with him sitting on this branch and he never once flinched.
