What a great find Yves and you got a very nice capture of the bird in the foreground. Even though the second bird is almost hidden in the shadows on closer inspection the poses you caught them in make this a really cool image.
Glad you notice the pose of the two birds, one in the light and one in the dark. Sory for late answer. I was out and came back yesterday afternoon. Tried to answered everybody but the CANGEO program is giving me a hard time (Clifford has the same problems). Hope this answer will go through.
It is always exciting to encounter something new in the area you like to photograph in. Very nice looking bird Yves, you have got nice light on the foreground bird showing the pretty brown colour.
Thank you for the nice comment Debra. I still expect another chance at them, but never saw them again since. I hope it was not once in a lifetime.
