CJ - You need to get a parrot and stake him out by a pond. These Parrot Awks are quick to come to the bait. ";^D Cheers, -mikey

Thanks, TomD. Rod, yah, these Colorado Parrot Awks are mostly slow moving drug addicts. I don't know how they ever catch a parrot? ";^D Cheers, -mikey

Very nice shot! & a nomination for the longest title. Love the algae green!

I think they must drug them Carole they're way too fast for me.

Thanks for looking and the comments, Rod & Tom. Yes, Rod, these four-winged 12-spot helicopter Awks are very dangerous if you happen to be on their menu. Tom, I keep saying, "I'll have to do something about the algae in that pond", but never quite get around to it. These Awks love it, tho. It attracts all kinds of parrots for them to eat. ";^D Cheers, -mikey

Funny title Mikey. Won't bore you with chatter - but I do like the image for many arty reasons. And that amazing green negative space seems to be making Rod happy too. -tv

Wow is that the famous Colorado awk wiv four wings, I'm glad we don't have them down here they would decimate our parrot population:-) Nicely shot mate with plenty of nothing for negative space,well done:-)
