They're gorgeous! So nice to see their namesake feathers.

Thank you! 6ish years ago Costco was carrying the Nikon D7500 camera with 2 lenses. I had never owned anything beyond a 35mm or phone at that point, so purchased one. I mainly use the AF-P Nikkor 70-300 mm lens it came with. Sometimes I use a Tamron 18-400mm. Always handheld, usually autofocus.

A male Anna's Hummingbird perched near the end of a thin, bare branch. He is in shadow, so his magenta head feathers are barely visible. The background is soft, hazy yellows, greens, greys, and blues.

Two small ducks swimming past two larger ducks dabbling. The swimming ducks are a pair of Buffleheads. The female in the lead has a grey body that is lighter at her breast, a black head and wings, and a white spot on her cheek. The male has a bright white body, black wings, and a black and white head. Both have blue-grey bills.  The dabbling ducks are Gadwalls and have their tails pointing in the air, the male on the left and female on the right.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #MrAndMrs showcasing male and female pairs of the same species. I'm sharing a pair of Buffleheads and a pair of Gadwall butts. #birds

The silhouette of a Belted Kingfisher on top of a snag. It is in profile facing left. Background is blue-grey sky with some whitish wispy clouds at the top of the photo.

Belted Kingfisher. It loves to perch on top of this snag, too far away for my lenses to get a good capture except as a #silhouette #BirdOfTheDay #birds

They'll have to live with dog kibble, and they definitely seem to like it. I think they like the nuts best.
