Nice ones Nancy. Looks like the 6D is working out great.

Belters Nancy, it gets quite over here in early July until we get waders returning and seabirds start to passage back to their wintering grounds. I wish we got these interesting birds.

it's been pretty quiet here so far this year - we had almost constant rain all of Spring and saw no migratory species. They must be here somewhere, but have kept a very low profile and are not nesting where we were used to find them.
And now it is moulting time, so other than a few intrepid young titmice, I have nothing in my yard.
Our Ruby Throat Hummers are little jewels, but your Kingfishers are so much more colorful than ours. Would gladly trade a few with you, if Nature so allowed.
