When the sun hits the Magpie just right the iridescence of its feathers shows that it is actually quite an attractive bird.

    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!"

    Gotta agree with Harry, Tim. That's one fine butt shot. A butt shot, that any of us butt shooters would be proud to call our own biggrinbounce2.gif


    Seriously, nice captures and that is a pretty looking bird and a tough one to expose correctly thumb.gifthumb.gif As Doc points out, you may need to utilize your human to avian interpersonal skills more. Put that Magpie at ease.....lol
