"You have to milk the cow quite a lot, and get plenty of milk to get a little cheese." Henri Cartier-Bresson from The Decisive Moment.
"somewhat elusive " is a understatement, the only pics I can get of this guy's, is that of their handy work....well done
One of my favorite birds! love the sound that their wings make when they fly......beautiful photo!
Great shot love how they laugh at ya when they fly away I've chased them all over Kearney with no results)
WOW. That is close. Love the detail.
