Nice composition to this photo.
Thanks Donna. Nice having all that nice blue sky.
Usually not a bird fan, but I like this.
Not that you need my like!
Perhaps not need Mo, but certainly appreciate. Thanks.
Ok. I love this bird. This it the cutest/coolest ever.
I think you’re slowly becoming a bit of a birder. Feathers aren’t so bad.
I am a birder, and this guy is a beauty! Great capture with his tail feathers all spayed out behind him.
I especially like the wing position in the shot. Nice!
great pic. ) of the bird, and back ground. )
Lots of beautiful features packed into 7.5 inches & nicely framed by the tree limb, Sean.
