For once I did not have to chase these birds half-way across the countryside. None of that over hill through the dale leap the stream and try to avoid the bull in the field. But if you can't at least slap him on the rump as you're running by. They actually flew up to me. And I didn't have to bribe them, or threaten them, or even beg and plead. Some mockery may have been involved, but I'm sure they really didn't mean what they said.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

You must be using a new touch to get them to behave this way. They probably said to themselves, Lets just pose for this guy and get it over with...... Anyway you did good, neat capture.

I think these two will be nest building before long. She has that look in her eyes! Amazing details you captured in them, Wendell.

Very special photo! They are flighty and very difficult to capture...I know because I've tried! I love the way they are looking at each other.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
