A pair of Tropical Mocking birds living in my backyard and created a nest. The "little" ones leave the
nest a while ago and they growing fast. Today I was able to snap them.

    Two good shots with the first one being the strongest. the second shot would have been improved with a bit of flash.

    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!"
