Default Grey Kingbirds

I took these on a recent photo outing at Honeymoon Island State Park. I have ID'd them as Gray Kingbirds, though I MAY be mistaken! They were fighting, since it is spring time I would imagine that they are trying to impress a lady

They put on quite the aerial ballet for me- And REALLY challenged my ability to keep a moving 'target' in focus!!





This one isn't quite as sharp-



Taken with my Canon rebel XT, 100-400is lens, Handheld.

Great shots, Andrew. Not an easy task to capture that, you did well. Not sure if I'd call that a 'aerial ballet', or a dog fight!
