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.
