    Great shot Dave! They are always scruffy looking whenever I've photographed them here!

    Love the second one. The snowbank being angled somewhat upward and the background make it look like it is on mountain somewhere. So how many "flips" did it take to get the right ID? rolleyes1.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!"
