Good fence posts!

I made a pass through the strip pits...not much was stirring.  Just the birds.  I managed to capture the Eastern Kingbirds and snapped a Dickcissel or two.
Since they are sitting on a fencepost,
I decided to use them for Good Fences, if I can remember to link up in the morn....

Lorelei is coming so not sure how much visiting I will get to do.  She will be here through Sunday.

The birds were thankfully posing to make themselves good targets for your shooting. And, it's a good fence shot.

The middle photo has me thinking that a bird makes a nice fencepost topper!

Nice! Killing two birds with one stone. Well, poor choice of words, but you know what I mean.
