Thanks Em! I have a few more to do tomorrow too...I keep falling asleep!!! Thanks Karen!!

Wonderful series Christy! Well done!

Love these shots Christy! The 3rd pic is my favorite! I'm too tired to upload mine tonight! :)

He might have a few problems if he looses them all.... ;)

Thanks all! Ashley, I just added 3 pics and looks like a tail feather is skewed in the last 2 - must be falling out...I know they don't molt like that! I hope he doesn't lose it all!! ;-)

Poor guy, wonder what happened to his tail?? These are great pictures Christy!!

Very Beautiful
