A fine set of preening images, Diane. It’s amazing how much they can stretch their necks when they want to. An excellent choice of opening and closing images.

Hi Diane, what a wonderful series. Love the ruffled feathers and great colors. The variety of poses is awesome. Great catches. Pleasing background too.
