I do love the birds but I also realize I just don't have the equipment to capture good photos of the birds from a distance, so normally I just watch. Tonight at the pool I was watching the deer when I saw a yellow flicker in the trees nearest the pool...I glanced over and saw it was a flycatcher and then I saw her mate, too cool. They were catching bugs and they were making me laugh with their antics. I had the Canon 28-105 mm lens on the Rebel and decided I'd try to see if I could get a decent photo, they were only about 30 feet from me...
This is the female Great Crested Flycatcher, beautiful....~
and here is her mate. They were catching bugs left and right and I loved the entertainment. Don't get me wrong I love watching the deer but sometimes it's nice to have something else to watch for awhile ;o)~
And then the Navy flew over....sigh...I would love to be up there flying!~
On my way up the drive-way to the house I spotted the 4 Pt. Buck that Michael likes to see and managed to get a photo of him. Michael was tickled, maybe I'll print the photo out for him?

You could be entertained for hours just hanging out on your back porch. Love it!
Beautiful psot Wendy. The flycatcher is wonderful. We got some American birds over here that I managed to see and get pictures of ;-)
