    I see ten, but one is just a tail. Viewed full screen, this really is a magnificent photo. Posted 10 years ago

        Out of the 10 one is just a tail hanging from the branch in the middle and the other one is part of the body in the left corner. There is one more in the right corner out of focus further in the back. That makes a total of 11 :) Posted 10 years ago
