We have a basement window there and could see him very close up when the lights were off, an incredibly beautiful fowl.Mark Kreiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859999310512264254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601795050810366857.post-993389250398007182010-10-08T06:24:04.984-07:002010-10-08T06:24:04.984-07:00A nice bird!

I enjoy taking photos at speed, when my dear is driving.. just to see if there come some good photos out of it. But ok..

Too bad you didn't get any further west; we likely could not have shown you pheasants but I ran into (not literally since I had to stop the car in order to let them "walk" across the road) two families of turkeys several mornings ago.<br /><br />Hope you have a splendid weekend.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160202493785166930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601795050810366857.post-69858585384109983952010-10-07T16:23:49.664-07:002010-10-07T16:23:49.664-07:00you're so patient. it's all worth it becau...you're so patient. it's all worth it because you got these perfect shots.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.topicsonearth.com/2010/10/desert-safari.html" rel="nofollow">Desert Safari</a>Rosselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13821764210926056424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601795050810366857.post-24245163839117893152010-10-07T12:30:33.546-07:002010-10-07T12:30:33.546-07:00Excellent that you finally managed to catch some p...Excellent that you finally managed to catch some pictures of them!!
