Another common summer resident is the Yellow Breasted Chat
You mentioned Kingfishers, I live close to a lake, Kingfishers are some of the most difficult birds to get close to, very wary of humans. This is another land bird that is difficult, we have at least 4 living nearby and I rarely get close enough for a decent shot. Roadrunner (female)
Those were taken with the Makinon 135mm lens, here's one with the Vivitar 200mm M42 I was bragging about above, taken at a North Louisiana lake several years ago. Snowy Egret just as it speared a shad.
Gotta go, might try to come back later and show off a few more. I'll try to dig up a Kingfisher shot. I get loads of ducks and water birds, I hang out on lakes a lot. Glad to see another competent photographer on here.
Nice shots. I’ve seen common yellowthroats here this year, but haven’t been able to get a good shot of one.
Thanks for your pics. Very nice work.
