Taken last spring at the SD zoo...while jotting down the name of the bird I had a Beavis and Buttheadian slip and wrote down 'Metallica Starling' instead of the correct name of the species, 'Metallic Starling'...go figure...

Exif: F Number: 8, ExposureTime: 100/24999 seconds, ISO: 3200, FocalLength: 500.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D

I like Metallica. He sure is looking intently at you. Guess he wants you to get his name straight! Love the vivid colors. Great shot, Robert. #10235812

BLAME IT ON AGE !!! Beauty of a catch, they are impressive especially w/those eyes

I have thought about a 600mm but that would SERIOUSLY CUT MY BUCKET LIST TRAVEL FUND.
Be thankful the fix is that inexpensive ... #10236004
