Happy Accident

Walking down Connecticut Ave in Washington D.C., headed for the National Zoo when I noticed these little guys in a tree. It was a total accident and also lucky that we were on a bridge so that we were high enough to be level with the nest.

We did get top the Zoo but these were my best frames of the day.:wink

    John, they absolutely do look like they were posing for you in that last shot. I sure hope Harry doesn't miss this series, being in Africa and all. Best, Pam

    Thanks Ron & Pam.

    They actually were curious about me, probably wondering how this fat guy was floating 30 feet in the air. Laughing.gif

    The darker gray one was a bit on edge but the redhead was a real diva. As I said, pure luck.
