This one is for Greg! =) This girl was freaking out as I stepped up to get a picture. I couldn't believe I got so close to her without her running away. When she finally walked away, I realized there were 4 speckled eggs under her. (right in the middle of the driveway at work) I built a little rock nest around the eggs to make sure my boss wouldnt run over them. As soon as I walked away, she ran back up to the nest, examined the rocks I put around her eggs and sat back down on them.

A pretty lady and a great closeup, so sharp and clear. The stones are the perfect background.

Beautiful shot of a beautiful bird. These guys often build their nest in the most unusual places. Nice job!

Thank you for dedicating this to me Nessa, I love this photo, very well focused capture of this beautiful bird protecting her eggs. Good job on getting everything in focus, even the rocks look good. Make sure your boss don't forget about them.
