  3. Such a great bird! Did you get to see it's cool little shimmy dance?

    1. I wish I did, but no. This was a single perch, we saw it for less than a minute, and then never again. Posted 15 days ago
  4. Great captures and awesome moss! Posted 15 days ago
    1. No shortage of moss in this place. They recommend not standing still for too long. Posted 15 days ago
