Sing With Me
sing with me, sing for the years
sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away.
Ok He was just yawning but when I saw this in bridge the first thing that came to my mind was the Aerosmith's song Dream On:)

Don,
What can I say. What a great capture, great moment. Like the composition and the clean BG.
Not only he was singing, also doing that hand gesture like most when they hit the high note. ;)
Love it.
Don, I love this pose! Great detail in the feathers, and very nice BG.
I like that raised foot. Do they do that often?

Most birds when they are just standing around tend to lift one foot not sure why tho.I like that raised foot. Do they do that often?

I flew from Orlando to Honolulu today and I should be the one yawning but it is 5:48 here now and it feels like 5:48 (not 10:48 eastern time...)
In any case I love the yawn and the raised foot. Is this the nest by the park and the parking lot near Pelican BLVD in Cape Coral, FL????

Great shot. Killer pose. I like the raised leg and the open bill. The closed eyes are actually better here than would be open eyes. Demonstrates the yawning. Wonderful background.

Don, what a beautiful shot. The composition is just perfect. Of course, the pose, low angle and exposure are very good too.
Hi Arthur, Sorry for taking so long to respond this is an East Coast Owl shot on private propertyIs this the nest by the park and the parking lot near Pelican BLVD in Cape Coral, FL????

No sweat Don. It looked exactly like a nest in Cape Coral that we had very good luck with last year.
