Always the way - a day late and a species short. Can't resist posting it anyway. I heard the turtles yelling "Shut up, you stupid *&#%* rooster, before you wake up big bird!"

Nice to see three species in onw shot! :wink: The picture has a green cast on my monitor. Wish the bird wasn't in the centre.

Funny. There seems to be a greenish cast on this one, I like the GBH in the bg too.

Agree on the green cast. I think this would work also if you cropped just to the woody and the turtles.

I see the green cast now, too, after I posted it. I did not notice it earlier on my monitor. It is all green down at that corner, though, so I should be careful of that. It is lots of fun watching the ducks and other birds interacting. They are used to seeing me and pretty much ignore me if I am seated and still. Now they just pretty much pay attention to one another and nearly ignore me.

The color cast has been mentioned. I like the turtles though the GBH hurts this one for me.

Woody, I love your take on what the turtles are saying - hilarious!!

It's pretty cool to capture these different critters in the same frame.
