An Over-the-Shoulder Stare-down

How fun is it to be able to walk up to within 6 feet of your favorite bird...even if he/she won't turn around? With the wind blowing hard again, the birds were again hunkered down. The back feathers were flying up, often obscuring the very eye that I was trying to shoot. 

We took dinner over to my brother's house tonight, and then stayed for a spirited night of euchre (a card game.) For my 50 cent entry fee, I took 2nd place...pocketing 10 quarters...for a net profit of 2 bucks. WOO-HOO!
