I think you should have subtitled this "up close and personal". The last 3 shots are more examples of you excellent skills at capturing BIF, but that first one was quite the surprise

Problem is... you gotta fold 'em up real small to get them in the oven.

Thanks so much. I really liked the background on the first one. He was sunning himself on the grass near the edge of the walkway and stayed put for quite a while. Very cooperative.

Not really Kerrowdown. First you have to remove that massive beak. Then fold the wings under and, well, you should know the rest.
