nice shooting Joey...birds are definitely the most fun method to hone ones photography skills...

[Joey]

Thanks. Those warblers can be tricky though. They sure flit about.

Yellow bellied fly catcher shot is great, nice work Joey!

Nice Joey, methinks the Yellow bellied Flycatcher may be a Great Crested, had a bunch of warblers as always picking at the clouds of midges on my weeping willow tree blooms in the backyard, they have pretty much moved on now.

Yup, I think you're right Dave. I'm still learning

 

Thanks!

Nice Joey the Warbler's are thinning out on their way to the breeding grounds. I seen amazing pic of a Eastern King bird in flight on Flickr I'm striving for a similar shot, also a Kingfisher in flight and and and! This hobby I started in October 2012 birding in March 2013 is soooooo much fun.

 

Last Year I didn't even know what a quarter of these birds are

[Joey]

I agree, I've learned so much. I like the challenge of finding new birds and of course in flight pics. Once I find new birds and get some good pics of them, I want to move on and find others I have not photographed yet, or at least birds i have not photographed well yet

 

The Kingfisher is still my nemesis. I found another pond with one at it, and I was so close to getting a really good shot, and an in flight shot too, but I just go there and barely had the lens cap off when I heard the chatter, saw it land not 20 feet from me. I raised the camera and didn't even focus yet and he was off and flying. I got a shot of the empty branch, then two fuzzy flying shots close to me - Dang. I will keep trying though.
