ReplyDeleteI love our area. Lisa is right, at certain times, they are everywhere. I love seeing them. We never get tired of seeing them, unlike seagulls... Sorry seagull fans...
ReplyDeleteWe actually were at the zoo but these guys were far off outside the zoo. Someone spotted them and the zoo people pulled out a telescope so folks could get a better view. I happen to have my super telephoto zoom lens and was able to capture this OK shot. I am glad you enjoyed it. We sure did!
