The light was very dull so the metallic sheen of these birds is a bit subdued. Hope you enjoy.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Pretty captures of a fascinating looking bird Lester.
I especially like the natural surrounds in all the shots with special nod to the last one.

Beautiful bird Lester, well shot for the light you had. Every so often I hear of one on the birder list-serve, a big deal for all the birders. Grand set indeed.
