I took a number of photos on a ranch in the Sandhills of Nebraska. I also spotted a turkey vulture, a turkey with chicks, a red-headed woodpecker, a bobolink, a loggerhead shrike, a western kingbird, hundreds of red-winged blackbirds and an evening grosbeak. All the pictures were taken on 7/20/21.
American Goldfinch

Great set of images!!!!
Look like you color balance might be off just a tad (or maybe just reflected light from all the greenery) all of the yellow on the birds look green!!

Thanks for the tip Manglesphoto! I’ll try adjusting white balance!

I am really struck by the variety of birds I find in the Sandhills! Glad these pictures took you back to Nebraska.

You were spot on Manglesphoto! I used the As Shot in the first set of photos and switched to Custom in Lightroom CC to what I saw in the field instead of what the "camera saw" in this set of two. The yellow was swallowed up in the green surroundings. Attempts at using the "eyedropper" did not produce results like what I saw.
Thanks again for taking the time to give me constructive help!
