p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wrestling with the scissor tails (4x)

Went out today first thing in the morning with the specific purpose of getting some BIF images of the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. It didn't take me long. I got all these shots pretty much within the first 90 minutes of daylight.

But by the time I finished, my arms felt like they were going to fall off. Some wrestling alright!

Hi Tam,
I'm recovering from a couple of life-altering events. Lucky to be here. Thanks.

Thanks Gene,
The birds didn't make it easy. I walked after them almost until my legs drop and my arms fall, just to get a shot.
