And, it was fitting for you to see the Vermilion Flycatcher from "down under." Oh, he's a funny guy! :-)A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-24570962314754223462015-01-31T12:43:24.122+11:002015-01-31T12:43:24.122+11:00I love Sooty Oystercatchers!

I've been a little slack and sporadic with all the health issues. I've done a lot of image clean up & deleeting unnecessary images on my laptop while I've been recuperating. I discovered a LOT of bird images that I hadn't edited... and a LOT that I really don't need. Thank goodness for digital!!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541748309832254889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-29195557078120453402015-01-30T05:27:17.564+11:002015-01-30T05:27:17.564+11:00Hi Stewart, I love the Oystercatcher.
