Eastern Kingbird
Eastern Kingbird How did I get that close with 110mm? On a Nikon 1 V3 with a 2.7 crop factor, 110mm becomes 297mm. Also, I was in a kayak drifting without paddling toward the bird. The branch it’s perched upon is about 5 feet off the water. Its nest is below it, about 2 feet off the water. Yes, I stopped the drift and did not threaten the bird or its nest. This bird looks like an Eastern Kingbird to me. Certainly, I’m not a birder. If you think it’s another type of bird, please contact me.
