053120 Scissor-tailed Flycatcher
Our state bird is gorgeous, isn't it? Some of the salmon and redder hues are covered by the wing, so a shot with the wing in a upper position highlights additional beauty.
060120 Eastern Phoebe
Carolina Wren
There was hope that one migrant might be holding out for us, but it wasn't for writer at Boomer Lake. There are plenty of breeding birds to be observed, as well as their young. The Eastern Phoebe provided several different spots where it perched, some perfect for photographs, others not so good. There was one close shot that just didn't come up to muster with cottonwood fluff in front of it. However, the one shown has backlighting, and it's passable.
The Carolina Wren was within a shady wooded area and very active. I believe a second bird was also in the area, and this one wanted to make certain that its territory was safe from the second bird.
