Our bluebird flock continues to grow. This morning, I counted at least 24 bluebirds at the feeders. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluebirds

I've seen bee-eaters "tossing" their prey before - but I've never managed to capture it in mid-flight! This is the same sequence as my previous photo, but now the bird quickly flicks the grass hopper into the air, catches it headfirst and swallowed it - all whilst still flying! #birds #birdphotography
a juvenile carmine bee-eater - flying alongside our vehicle - gets lucky when this grasshopper hopped in front of it - which is the whole point of them hawking next to us as we drove #birds #birdphotography

Golden-crowned Kinglets today. In the same Family (Regulidae) as the Ruby-crowned, but not in the same Genus - only two in this Family. Golden-crowns move at near light speed, and can be very challenging to photograph. The mantra is - patience - spot focus - very reactive lens - high shutter speed - split shutter from focus - watch and try to anticipate where they will land - patience. A fun challenge.
Always a thrill to see this gregarious, active birds. They overwinter with us, arriving in October and departing in late March (typically).
