I just love to see those baby birds with their mouths wide open!

Wow, those are really good shots!!! I can't believe that baby has that whole dragonfly in its mouth! How far away were you from the nest?

[guitarman3]

And how did you get that view of the nest? Really nice shots!

[Wayne Wood]

The nest was on a branch that hangs over the river i was on a knoll slightly above the nest and about 20 feet away thanks for the nice comments

You did a great job. I have the same gear and struggle to get things focussed especially with branches in the front like you have. Excellent shots.

Wow, fabulous shots.

Fantastic.. I'm jealous..


BTW.. Eastern Kingbirds can be very aggressive if you approach their nests.. They didn't get the latin name 'Tyrannus Tyrannus' for nothing :)

Wowzers...love those baby birds at feeding time. VERY nice indeed.

Thank you all I appreciate the kind comments ,, there is also a nest of Great Crested Flycatchers very near to this nest but it's in a hole in a tree so I wont be getting any baby shots there,,, Thanks again to all of you
