Showy Birds

The Vermillion Flycatcher seems to be turning in to a bit of an exhibitionist. He comes around every day that someone is working outside and makes sure to fly by clicking away until you pay attention to him. And now he sits still long enough that he's just daring me to take more pictures of him. He still flies off before I get him most of the time but I'm learning how to be fast.



Turkey Vultures

The turkey vultures are not the most attractive birds but they are pretty impressive when they're soaring over the land. They are huge and they glide over the wind gracefully. They've been hanging around a lot lately so I wonder if there's a carcass that they keep visiting.
