The contrast of yellow on black makes this bird a challenge for a good exposure. Hope this one is close enough for government work. I like the dainty little finger pose, too...

I love those birds. What do you mean by government work? We have some local sayings that might not translate everywhere else... "It's good enough if you can't see it from the dam." is one, and "Close enough for government work." is another. "Slower minds keep right..."
