Far out Rick, what a 1 in a million shot, and so beautifully captured. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Thanks everybody ..

But this was kinda pure luck .. I have bird feeders in the back yard .. also installed some perches so that photos would look more like the birds are in their natural environment ... I have the camera set up in the garage with one of the perches about 25 feet away ..I was shooting these and when I uploaded I saw this one .. it cracked me up ..

So sometimes being lucky is good .. lol

Rick
