It is a nice image and I've returned to it several times since your message arrived and note especially the detail in the body. In keeping with LUG tradition, how about some other technical details? From the catchlight in the eye, I detect the use of flash. Your observations on the birds' behavior are fascinating. One wonders what goes through their BB-sized brains when they see a human with a camera.
