  6. That hook on the tip of the beak must serve some useful purpose. Yes, the self-timer. I usually forget to bring along the remote shutter release then continue on with the pattern of forgetting the camera has a self-timer. I have those days.

  13. Pied Butcherbirds take great shots, don't they? We have had a family spending Summer in our yard. The young ones are quite bold and come right up to the back door.
    Great shots!

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
