Nice shot Loki! I love the arranged colors surrounding the birds.
I backed up to a grouse on my forestland driveway yesterday. The stupid bird wouldn't move. All I had was my muzzle loader in the truck with me. I figured I'd either miss him or make hamburger out of him, so I gave him a pass. I had to climb out of the truck and shoo the thing away. He had a pretty shocked look on his face when he saw me get out of the truck just 8 feet away from him, but I had to start walking towards him to get him off the road.
