woodnutter! they always looks like their beak is just sorta glued on...very pretty guy/gal.

I'm working on it... I was working in the yard and had a rain delay. I thought I would come and post a few....

He's a colorful fella. Good shot and glad you're back, woodnutter.

the icon made me think it was a macro of a moth. very nice photo. is the meat bittern?

Fantastic! You are lucky to have one of these wonderful birds in the zoo :) I've been trying to spot a bittern in the wild for years - they are elusive!

I was thinking it looked like a little turkey myself....

mmmm, gravy.

i mean...cool bird. very handsome. ;-P

I love the colors! Kind of looks like the turkey my daughter made at school......but hers was made out of sequins...;)

ack, ack.....

wow.. this is a wonderful photo.... amazing bird...

Glad your back!

oh...good to see you posting again.

the glow.


(i'm at a loss for words today)

Interesting shot!! You must either have at least three hands or a self timer. If I were to wager a bet...hmmm...think I'd go with the self timer.

Quack! :)

oh yea, either chinese or italian is fine, or even both! hahaahhaha

Um.. you must have a HUGE yard because it is made to a one on one scale with a real elephant...

i want this in my yard. this is the best.

cool shot. cute duck.

I'm still trying to get there... I don't want to push it too much. Going to the zoo is one of the few things I look forward to doing. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable around me. I occasionally do try and be a gentleman.

Besides, there is always that other cutie that volounteers in primates on Saturdays...
