Tonight a group of Scissortail Flycatchers was active on the tree just outside the back yard. The first photo is a group of 3, and the second is of one swallowing what appears to be a grasshopper.

The female painted bunting is not as colorful as her mate, but still is a very pretty bird I like the feather detail in these pics of her.

The owl likes to sit on a particular post, so I trimmed under the Oak tree to get a better view of it tonight when it came to the yard.

The owl returned tonight, and although it was getting dark, I managed to get a couple of pics.

A pair of Scissortail Flycatchers is nesting in a tree just outside our back yard. Unless you are lucky, they are well hidden in the nest. Here is one pic with a 600mm +1.4 extender just catching a glimpse of the female on the nest.

The light was right this morning to really show off his amazing colors.

The male painted bunting has given many photo ops this spring, but this morning the female came by.

Liked the detail on this one, especially in the eyes.

The light was right and the pose was good. I really like how the colors came together.

The Bluejay made a close visit this morning. No cropping on this one.

Happy to see the male Painted Bunting is back this year!
