Feathered Friday - Birding by the Lake before Sunset
Here are a few hot summer birds by the lake for this #featheredfriday by @melinda010100
![p8032087_copy.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPRHHopN4nqWUyomw2stezQZsqXwrWPRoFWy7VA2rLHXt/p8032087_copy.jpg)
First up is a great white egret in flight. Sadly my camera did a bit of a poor job because of the dark tree background and movement of the bird.

![p8032080_copy.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWp3qdEtYp3qCTAz9XXaRwD6K7FaE51eU8ywkbnyBHyf3/p8032080_copy.jpg)
I saw him from a distance and tried to sneak as close as possible for better shots. 

![p8032073_copy.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaCzViZS1jCQrLYdchexq2ThdRRoT8ApsXH5oNTScjies/p8032073_copy.jpg)
fortunately there was a bush I could hide behind on the other side of the ditch and I was able to get some good shots. 

![p8032084_copy.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYP1Ed5dYWwHnAPLu8Zpv4dcqWDy7K6pRtPUcoiGd8CHW/p8032084_copy.jpg)
Eventually he became too suspicious of me and flew off.

![p8032091_copy.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQma4svxh9xBt4vGQZpaFq1WMZG3QcxqadQqrZLNJSENb4c/p8032091_copy.jpg)
Just a bit farther down the lake path I saw a great blue heron.

![p8032096_copy.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmawccRoBaHKmK9neV11SkMyDFHeryTFNSEFMfosLDTz8w/p8032096_copy.jpg)
Meanwhile on the lake a common tern was doing his rounds looking for fish to dive bomb from the air.

![p8032069_copy.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRHRCsvshJ7WHac4W9L4XDnSCB1Jz3guztxiWvEr9otMT/p8032069_copy.jpg)
As the sun started going down I was able to get this edge lit robin.

![p8032070_copy.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmV5Gqsa82Dz5R6sF6H6pZ7Us3FSN8ysYpeeuaC3nhbu5V/p8032070_copy.jpg)
He even did some bird yoga for interesting edge lighting on his wings.

![p8032105_copy.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYc3X2dosAbiyuHysWYQxh6MLZdxy8t6CFJJoRWKqccAw/p8032105_copy.jpg)
I noticed three doves watching the sunset on this branch. These kind of look like common ground doves to me.

![p8032059_copy.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPy4VaHMDTM5bEZeUGavzfDCxThYEteXA9HrXDL17T3Zr/p8032059_copy.jpg)
I heard a bit of buzzing and managed to locate this little hummingbird.

![p8032060_copy.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQme4paqZM2UfLCHZUiSP5ymBY4Z1SHRmxN3AWc9sLB8nWy/p8032060_copy.jpg)
I have no idea on the ID as most of the bird guides show the male colors for hummingbirds. I suspect this is a female or possibly a juvenile.

![p8032063_copy.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUVP8PkH5Cu4pn5L99KqR8GSfbd38oF748UN816mc4zFi/p8032063_copy.jpg)
As it started getting too dark out for my zoom lens I managed to get this shot of a downy woodpecker. Now birding is over and I turned my attention towards the sunset.

![p8032145.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmfLsPrWN5eea6ud9AcuzKQZCkpfY9fWudXsC3uCiXmEz8/p8032145.jpg)
Lots of nice summer sunset shots on this day out. Happy #featheredfriday :-)

oh my freind! @sketch.and.jam I don't think there's anything wrong with your camera shots and all those shots make me thirsty for a digital camera.


greetings hope you are always healthy there.

I use an olympus 5-510 with a 200mm zoom lens and an extension tube that works really well in bright light but in shade it gets pretty noisy.

Very interesting my friend, I don't have a digital camera yet.

I hope covid19 passes quickly and I can save money to get a camera like you. hehe

the low light shot of the flying egret is very interesting. there is a soothing feeling of flowing water to it

It looked so clear in the camera viewer when I took the shot. Sometimes when I leave the lens hood on in dark areas it causes the shutter to stay open too long.

The prairie is amazing around sunset. I was hoping to see a coyote around sunset but no luck I just heard them in the distance.
