What’s for supper?

Western Kingbird with a beak full of dragonfly.

A steady rain has been falling since about 7:30 am this morning and the weather app says this will be the norm for the next 6 days. Always good to get a gentle rain. I needed time in nature yesterday afternoon and drove out east into Weld County. The sky was beautiful with the clouds over the mountains. But my focus switched to birds as meadowlarks and Western Kingbirds were out and offering me photo opportunities. The sun is out for now. May go for a walk.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    I feel badly for the dragonfly but what an incredible photo to capture this moment. Your bird photos really are lovely, incredible and often entertaining, Monte.

      Interestingly I was driving along when I noticed them on the fence. I stopped to watch and realized what I was seeing. They never moved and I shot from my car. Nature is so amazing when we stop and watch. Have a wonderful Mothers Day!!!
