    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 feel pretty darn blessed to be able to witness this in person and then to be able to photograph it, well I would have to say that I'm blessed.

    I was looking at image #6 and am amazed at how these little birds and their nests just blend in with the rest of the leaves on the tree or bush they are in :D ..... I'd be thrilled to bits with this lot if they were mine I tell ya clap.gif

    Thanks for sharing.... Skippy

    Thanks so much Skippy,

    It was funny that you mention #6, when I got to the nest that day one of the birds was gone, I'm sitting there sort of empty feeling when all of a sudden I see this movement out of the corner of my eye, there' the little bugger right above the nest as shown in picture #6.

    It is truely amazing how well they blend in.
