I'm pretty freaky about these guys... I had to bust out the super telephoto to get it, lol. That way I could stand back...way back :) Hope you sleep okay, Newfie. They're only out in the day if that's in comfort ;~)
Thanks Marguerite :) These guys are so busy, that these photos are the fist time I've got a good look at them. I like the eyes too. I'd like to get an even cleaner shot of the eyes, they look very interesting.
