Yard Birds

[Allen]

After spending over an hour in my improvised blind I blew out my lower back
and now am on muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory drugs. What lengths
we go thru for a few pics.:rofl

This one was too far away for the flash, but I like the effect.

Outstanding shots especially the third one. :clap The background on it seems to be a bit noisy. I would have done some NR on the background only.
