I know it. Here in Hungary we have a phrase: "A sparrow today is better than a bustard tomorrow." Good pic. :)

I did a double take on the title JimboB. You got a nice scald on this one. I just love it when the detail in the feathers show up this plain. Great focus. The eye looks so penetrating.
One of your best.

I was wondering if he ate the butterfly you were going to post? Hence the title.
