    Good ones Dave. thumb.gif Down here you see them everywhere. I've seen them in the drive through at McDonalds, crossing the road, hanging out on our lawns. They are very used to people in my area.

    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'd love to see a closer shot of the chick, Dave. I never found the nest of the ones I was shooting and didn't see any young.

    Nice going. clap.gif

    Cool shots. I really like the first two shots look with that glint of light in the Sandhills' eyes.
