I would have stayed & tried to get better shots but I found a tick crawling up my leg & it wierded me out too much to stay.

not great but thought I'd share since this was the first time I've come across them.

    If you want to shoot wildlife you have to tolerate the occasional tick. What's Lyme disease when you can get a good shot? :ivar


    Actually it would have weirded me out too.

    Interesting shots. thumb.gif

    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!"

    they are just like black birds but with some white/cream on their wings, back & a patch on the back of their head. to me , from a distance it looks like a white afro
