Is the blue cast coming from the blue pill (in order to be Ready, Wiling and Able)?  ;) ;D

Be sure to see your vet if your mating plumage is erect for more than 4 hours...

I corrected that this morning, Slobodan...I did the original edit with store bought readers and didn't see the color cast until I picked up my script glasses this morning...Had to adjust five or six images...

Very nice with the corrected WB and the unusual posture of the bird.

During Mating Season, this is the norm rather than the exception.

Chris, Thanks for the info about the mating period and postures. I guess that it's part of their nuptial parade.

It is, Francois. I bet I have 15 different shots of their pre-nuptial antics. It's a hoot to watch them.

Thanks all for your comments.
