Never did imagine that I would run across a Black-billed Magpie with a severe case of pattern baldness, but..... here's the proof. Poor fellow.

    Funny shot Dixie and one of the few birds shots I've seen where the photographer was right above the bird.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Easy shot, Harry. He was in an overlook parking lot begging for handouts. I was digging out my camera after pulling in and he thought that I was going to give him something. When the next car pulled in, he ran over to them. Little beggar.
