I'm grateful that you have a camera and a blog and a willingness to share! :-)<br /><br />Photo #'s 3, 4 and 5 are my favorites of this delightful bunch. And I applaud you for taking the birds' well-being into consideration and not stressing them in order to get a desired photo! I doubt many people would consider the birds' point of view!
