Wheat Video!

Summer Photos!

Western Kingbird!











I entered this into our local library photo contest!




Awesome Kansas Scenery!

Friday, we went down to a wheat field on the edge of town and took some pictures. I also took a bit a video of the wind in the wheat...it was soooo cool! (I get that later) Then we drove down a gravel road take the picture of the barn in the back ground...I got out and on an electric line, was a Dickcissel. It was singing! Then a Red-Winged Black Bird flew up on the line over a bit. It sang too...or something! (it's not real pretty) Here are the pictures!

The heat was over the wheat...making the barn fuzzy from the heat.

Western Kingbird!

I saw this bird a recently and I finely found out what bird it is. Western Kingbird! It has a yellowish belly, gray back and wings, and a black line through the eye. It also has angled type wings. They sit up on a branch waiting for an insect, then fly out and swoop to catch it. I saw this before I knew what they were. It would fly around funny, then come back to the branch.
Here is a picture I got of it yesterday!



The wings are bent similar to the one on the middle left.
