Sorry, just a couple of more Blues. Actually the same bird. He's hanging out while his lady sets up the nest.

I cut the tail off on the first shot --I was just to exicited with his expression -I lost track of the composure of the shot. Oh well-- live and learn!

Great shots Mark. WHen I inadvertently cut off a tail, I just crop a but tighter on the top half of the body so it looks more portrait-like ;)

I love its expression in the first shot, but the second shot is fantastic. Great blue hues.
