We hit a temperature of 107 degrees yesterday in Fresno, so I figured, what the heck, mind as well try to shoot some birds with with camera. I live right near an AG college (FSU), and there is usually a small variety of birds there on any given day. I go out there hoping to get a decent shot for my efforts. Well yesterday I was lucky and got a few images that I kind of liked. I hope you enjoy some of them.
Mourning Dove
Possibly the Easter Bunny?
Juvenile Cooper's Hawk in persuit of a House Finch. The finch won.
House Finch
"Lost in the Clouds"---I kind of liked this shot of the Snowy Egret.
This Common Tern has successfully captured a small largemouth bass. He is a much better fisherman that I am.

Dear Lame Duck--these are terrific photos. At least your 107F temperature wasn't a wet heat as we get here in FL. Keep shooting!
Nice photos--I especially like the finch.
Wow! Beautiful, sharp captures!

Excellent shots. Especially like the egret and tern shots.

Lame-Duck ..., you done good ... nice pics ...
All fabulous, especially the last one!
Fantastic images, all of them. I would agree you had a great day of shooting.
Do you use the dog in your avatar for hunting?

Really an outstanding set L-Duck. Think it's the first time I've seen a photo anywhere of a
mourning dove in flight. They are everywhere... but on wires or something. Also, a bunny
walking, neither peeking out of the foliage nor sitting somewhere.
Thanks jederick, for the wonderful compliment...I'm really glad that you liked them.
