Killdeer with chicks, Vermillion Flycatcher poses, and a Western Blue Bird

Caught these guys around our golf coarse over the last couple of days and wanted to share. From one of our local bird experts here, having a Vermillion Flycatchers in our neck of the woods might be considered a bit unusual, so I glad I got the opportunity with this male. The Killdeer family was unexpected but fun. Those are all chick to the right of the female and behind the standing chick. I have lots of shots with the chicks trying and succeeding in getting under Mom (Dad?). I can't tell the difference in the sexes of the Killdeers.
Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking. These all were taken with my Canon 5DIV, 600mm ISII w/ 1.4X converter (840mm) either gimbal mounted or on a bean bag in my golf cart.

Those vermilion flycatchers are beautiful birds. I see a lot of them in southern Arizona. Nice photo's.

Those are very nice shots. Great detail, sharpness, color. You used your great gear well. The perch that the Western Bluebird and the Vermillion Flycatcher were captured on must have been a popular spot. Good job!
