After trying for a decent shot of one of these guys for two years now, that's what I got today. Not great...but decent.

    Looks pretty decent to me.

    Nice background as well - the out of focus parts nicely frame the bird but are relatively clean right behind the bird's head.

    The mowed grass at the bottom is a little like a power line, but there's really no room there to crop.

    Nicer than any gbh shot I have.... :D

    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!"

    I think they're great shots, Ric. He looks like he's got something stuck in his throat maybe? headscratch.gif

    Great pics Ric. They'er skittish.

    I know where one has been hanging out up here but he sees me before I can get close enough.
