After a long three day pause the weather finally seemed inviting enough to take a turn at Lake Pueblo State Park. Despite the (I hope) seasonal scarcity of birds I had a couple strokes of good luck capturing birds in flight. The luck can be largely credited to my choice of the Nikon D5100 for the camera du jour. That Belted Kingfisher (today’s featured image) that has been tormenting me of late finally made it onto my memory card as he took flight. A little later I spent some time stalking a Black Phoebe and caught him in flight as well. He’s the tiny black dot near the center of the frame. Neither picture is likely to get me published by National Geographic but I’m happy enough with them to post here.
