BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

Plenty of hummingbirds coming through the nearby mountains. Mainly seeing the Rufous's but occasionally the others stop by. On Sunday, I spent most of the day just observing them in different patches of flowers along a ridge. At times, the battles were epic, with anywhere from two to six of the little guys vying for the same patch of blooms.

Very nice!

Common Kingfisher.

They fly fast as an arrow. I needed quite a bit of luck and a lot of patience to get this shot.

Gorgeous photo. 8)
I love hummers, but sadly, there are none here in Hawaii. :'(

Here's an adult male Northern Goshawk. One of the most elusive birds to capture in the wild let alone in the open free from branches and other distractive objects etc.

Winter can be slow for birds in flight images in western Canada as just about any bird with sense has flown south, but thankfully there are always snowy owls and some are more co-operative than others.

I came across this blue heron today. A rather rare visitor here. The local crow chief didn´t think much of it though and chased him off ...
