Description

This one let me get quite close before it took off. When it left it just started flying from this position and as it got higher I could see why. The unfortunate fellow only had one leg.

Exif: FNumber: 6.3, ExposureBiasValue: 0/10, ExposureTime: 0.01, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 400, WhiteBalance: auto white balance

Gail and Joy, Thank you both so much.
Yes Gail he seemed quite healthy, he was grazing as far as his neck would reach while in this position, and was very strong when he took flight. #1963025
