Birds at Rio Verde, AZ, USA

Here a few bird photos I shot today with a Canon EOS 1100D with a 75-300mm telephoto lens. They are a Vermillion Flycatcher, Great Blue Heron, a Great Egret, a Ring Necked Duck, & a Bald Eagle. Enjoy!

Very cool photos! Was it hard to taking the photos? I feel with animals it can be quite challenging. Do you take a lot of close-ups? 

[PrestonAZTXMN]

@DanniS Thanks .Yes. I take a lot with my telephoto lens. I enjoy shooting nature & wildlife photos. These all take patience, & a little luck. Thanks again.

Hello @PrestonAZTXMN,

Thank you for sharing your photos. Where did you find all these birds? Did you visit a nature reserve? 

Even if I live close to a mountain, it is hard for me to see or capture the wild animals. I saw a fox once and maybe a few rabbits and that's all.

@MoniDi No. This is in my neighborhood outside of Phoenix, Arizona. However, we are close to a state forest. This is desert land, but there is abundant wildlife. Thanks
