I've been practicing and observing the cute little chickadees at the feeder in the backyard. I framed up with the feeder on the far right edge and got ready. My reactions aren't that bad I swear. They are just so fast! Anyway, the a7R V bird AF worked well and I got this shot. I'm keen to keep working on this genre.

Can you help? What do you think the eagle has in its talons?

This thread is very inspiring. I've never taken so many pics of birds! Here's to many more.
The barn swallow was really tough. They fly so fast and are highly unpredictable chasing insects.
The raven on the other hand is not that fast and very predictable! (they were all congregating on the dropped garbage in the parking lot)

Weird geese, and they will take over our wetlands in years to come, because they breed very easily. I do prefer them to Canada Geese though.
Nice Lark!

I drove about an hour this afternoon to see a new bird for me, a Swallow-Tailed Kite. There were as many as six at a time and they made several loops right over us.

Fantastic, I was on the lookout for them across the deep south last week but no luck. Enjoyed seeing the Mississippi kites though.
