Damn! The one I saw was in good light and all flared out. I thought I'd been told these birds were pretty approachable so I was careless in my approach. I won't make that mistake again...

Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

I've gotten some pretty crappy shot's of them in Tellico, i think they're just camera shy, they just sit there til the lens pops up & BOOM, they're gone :-[

They might not know the difference between shotgun and camera!  :P

I flushed one yesterday as I was walking along one of my old haunts. When you have a shotgun they go 90mph at funky angles. It's even worse when you don't have a dog and are trying to kick them up the hard way. This one lackadaisically flew off straight away. I shouldered my fly rod and tracked it through the birches, muttering "bang" under my breath. It must have known the difference, too.
