p.1 #1 · Normal day for a Kingbird (10)


I spent a couple of hours watching this Eastern Kingbird this past weekend. Fun to watch chasing dragonflies.
40D, 500mm+1,4x Tc. Exif data enbedded.
C&C welcome,
Socrate

you just always have the best dragonfly images Socrate.....birds aren't too shabby either.
I have a special fondness of kingbirds, as I watch them often in a bayou from a distance.

a pleasure to view sir

Those kingbirds are really something I like how they flip the dragons up before they eat it
I bet they're really fun to watch! My fav. are #1,3,6 and #8! great stuff Socrate!
I like how you controled the whites on the egret...those are always easy to blow

Wonderful series Socrate, very well done. All of these have a certain feel to them and I can't put my finger on it. I would suppose it is your personal style showing through. I like 5 with one in the throat and one in the air and 7, it is splendid.

Holy flying dragonfly, Socrate. #s 3 and 5 are incredible! I don't know how you were able to capture the action in such detail. The entire series is great, but the those two are fantastic.

Socrate, these are awesome. My favorites are 3 and 5, both spectacular. What kind of bird is #10, is that an immature little blue heron?

Socrate, those are just sweet! Were you tossing dragons to them I am afraid that I would have almost just enjoyed the show in watching this activity. Great concentration on the shots, and wonderful BG's on a few of the munchers The scruffy first one is a great shot too!
