Two tough birds, there. I shot a rooster with a tail about as long as the one on the right! :coolpics:

Hettmoe,

Awesome pictures! So cool that you get to see birds so close to home. On behalf of us hunters that make the annual westward pilgrimage to hunt our favorite bird, THANKS for sharing all these photos!

I'm curious how many birds are typically hanging out by your place?

 

[hettmoe]

Thanks Frank, for the kind words. I am very fortunate.......in so many ways. I really do like photographing the beautiful birds. I guess I’ll probably just keep posting photos until someone asks me to stop.
Probably a dozen or so hang around here.

A group of jakes that were nice enough to stop for some pictures today. There was a big group of toms up the hill just out of reach of my camera.

They make themselves flat on one side and fan their tale like that, usually seen in displaying roosters. I've never seen a hen do it, awesome pics as usual Pat.

What did you say?

He just heard an action quietly click closed about a half mile away. Stunning creature. (although purely aggravating)

 

[hettmoe]

That’s Right.
