Hi Webboy :)
They are just the coolest birds - great shot - how far away from it were you? - looks like right next to it

Thanks myky50,

It landed on the driveway in front of my car (in the headlights) and didn't want to move. The camera is within an arm's length of the bird. I love the ant in the background :)

Great shot Webboy. I have often seen these birds sit on the road at night and not move when you approach them with the car. I have had to get out and chase them away. It's a wonder there's any left. Ray

Right place right time , well taken.

A Photo is only as good as the eyes that look at it.
