Sitting pretty

We really need to get down to Constitution Gardens and see if there are still some birds around there. We haven’t seen any from Constitution Avenue, which runs right by it, but you never know.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Looks like lots of molting going on with all the feathers floating. Lovely to catch her showing the blue.

Love the details you've captured here. The vibrant blue patch on her wing and the feather on her nose up the impact.
