I normally post in the wildlife section, though am not immune to doing some birding.

Taken in Botswana in 2008. It is part of new B&W print gallery that I have setup.

Wow, I'd love to see this image in color and that's not to say that I don't like the black and white version; I think it's awesome. That is one heck of a perch and I like the way the bird is leaning. It looks like it has a bulging crop or am I seeing something else? Don't take this the wrong way but your signature block takes my eye off of the bird and scene a little bit. Thanks for sharing a unique shot.
