Thanks Kris. It really pays to take the camera everywhere I go. I had seen them (this is one of a romantic couple) on my way home from work for the last couple of weeks. The days I had my camera I either lost track of them, or could not pull over safely. For some reason yesterday I was determined to take the camera; and sure enough it was totally worth it.

They are badass looking. Luckily this one is young enough to still have the brown around the neck and on the breast.
