River Kingbird
While boating along the Grand River in Grand Haven on June 13 in Michigan, we spotted an Eastern Kingbird sitting on her nest. It was on the edge of the riverbank and I was able to snap
this photo using my Olympus camera with a telephoto lens.

Young birds from my deck.
I discovered the Oriole nest a week before these pictures. It was a steady rotation of the parents in and out feeding the babies. The next day after these images were taken a severe windstorm battered the nest. The next morning the parents came to the tree and called, but there was no feeding activity.
I have a honeysuckle bush that has become the residence of two baby Eastern Kingbirds. The parents spend a lot of time between feeding the young and chasing off interlopers. A grey squirrel learned not to venture too close.
