Kingfisher
I think this guy has a deal with the dearflies! I have been chasing hime for 3-4 days and I I get to show for my efforts is dearfly bites even with deepwoods off on! Spotted him through the trees and this was the best I was able to capture along with a bit on both arms and the cheek! Did I mention I hate dearflies !

These guys are shy and skiddish. I will admit I had to lay here a while before I got some of the shots I did od this sandpieper.

Treeded!
I have never seen a Great Blue Heron perched up in a pine tree. But here he stands on a limb about 20' off the ground. Shot at about 500mm to capture this shot. He stood there long enough that I was able to drop my speed down to 1/160 sec and ISO 200. I was Impressed.

It's My space!
2 kingfishers fighting for space.** Setting the stage: I had just captured one of these sitting on a stick when I heard a ruckus. I spun the speed dial from from 1/160 sec up to 1/1600. I am shooting right into the sun, as it has just crested the trees, plus I am at the max limit of my 200x600 and shooting in crop mode to get a bit more maginification. The wonders of 61mp gave me these shots I will share as I have anoter for tomorrow. HAGD. I did fill the buffer :). Never seen 2 Kingfishers fight like this
