They'll probably want a print of this for the wall of their den. . . . ;)

Wow and WOW!! Jack - I don't think I've ever seen better! A real winning photo. You should enter this in some contests or submit to a birding magazine.

You certainly have to be happy with this one. All it's missing is a Paul M caption.

You should be happy with this one! Amazing sharpness and detail on the top bird. And the lower bird/house makes the composition perfect too.
