Wow Paul....what a capture!!!! #239204Leanne M.E. Boyd April 21, 2005
Cute shot, Paul! #1274001Paul Conlan April 21, 2005
Charlene and Leanne... Thank you for your comments. I took this photo out one of the windows at my office (second floor). The holly tree was filled with the birds which must have been migrating. I haven't seen them since. Best wishes... #1274043Michael McCook April 21, 2005
Cool Shot Paul. It pays to always have your camera with you. #1274100Vicki Hunt April 21, 2005
I might have to have this one in my "Paul" collection of photos. It is really one of my 2 personal favorites of yours...(Mary is the other!) I love it! Are you sure you didn't clone one bird 8 times???? #1274382Paul Conlan April 21, 2005
Michael and Vicki... Thank you for your comments! I've read this: "These social birds have the amusing habit of passing berries from one bird to the next down a long row sitting on a branch, until one bird eats the food." I didn't see them passing berries but evidently they often sit in a row like this. Vicki... Cloning? Hmmm... maybe one bird head to another. Ha... A copy can probably be arranged. #1274634Dorothy Neumann April 21, 2005
Neat image, Paul! How unusual that they were all looking the same way...it makes one wonder about Vicki's multiple cloning suggestion. #1277504Paul Conlan April 21, 2005
Oh... my photo friends are so skeptical of my work! Ha... Thanks for your comment Dorothy. #1277557Lori Carlson April 22, 2005
Makes this even more special since you haven't seen them since!...way to be prepared!! Cuz this is really beautiful Paul. :0) And should I say, "so tweet"!! :0) #1282683Paul Conlan April 23, 2005
So tweet!? Ha... That's bad Lori! But... thank you for your comoment anyway! Ha... I'm glad you like the photo. #1283204S J May 21, 2005

Sanjay, Jim, Dorothy and Carol... Thank you all for your comments and congratulations. I just wish I could get the birds to come back and pose some more. I guess that won't happen until next year on their way through Atlanta. Best wishes... #1381690Carla Metzler May 22, 2005

This is a beautiful shot Paul. Nice job. #1986714Paul Conlan October 23, 2005
Jacqueline and Bill... Thank you both for your recent comments on this photo. I don't photograph birds that often, because I'm not that good at it, but couldn't resisted when these seemed to pose outside my office window. Best wishes...Paul
