Some shots from today. Hunting season is on and birds are all over or nowhere to be found.
Belted Kingfisher did not care at all, as long as there is a fish to catch he or she is happy. This one was playing game with me.
As soon as I got to decent shooting distance it took off and landed in nearby tree...repeated few times and finally It let me take some shots

At home American Goldfinch had a blast at my feeders.
