    I loooooove that mockingbird silhouette!! So much detail and those little bits of light.....yummy! The wing action on the bulbul is pretty sweet, too!

    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!"

    We were sitting next to this little puddle on the ground which became like a birdbath for the birds in the area.
    After a while it seemed like they were oblivious to our presence. It was a lot of fun observing them.
    Thanks Ric
