As you can see, all this time away from the blog has not improved my bird photography skills one bit.
😉
I love having kingbirds around; they’re among my favorite summer birds. A pair has nested in the neighborhood the past two years and I waste a lot of time just imagining explanations for their funny personality quirks…
I knew their babies had fledged this past weekend based solely on the increased frenzy in their parent’s shrill, chattering cries.
I was hopeful that there’d be a snapshot like last year’s, but no.
One of the parents, scaring up bugs in the hydrangea off the porch, was my best chance at a snapshot and I missed it. Darn misbehaving camera.
😉
Well, I love blue hydrangea’s anyway.
I love seeing the Kingbirds too Laura, and they are hard to capture (sort of like Phoebes) so I’d say this is a typical shot I’d get! LOL!
I fully sympathize with the “misbehaving” camera. It looks like the auto focus is selecting the hydrangea as its focal point. I have not figured out how to make it NOT do that.
Take that camera swimming and get a new one then!
(Or get a proper lens.)

A pretty hydrangea is worth a picture!
