Russ: Kindred spirits enjoy such a post. As successive seasons pass, the enjoyment grows, even through our aches and pains. I'm sure all here would have loved to share time like this with you. Thanks for sharing it through cyber space.

Nicely composed images. Eye candy for the inveterate bird hunter.

Cheers,
