    if you look real close you can see the horizan across the eye and the bright spot is the sun and the blind to the left of the sun...

    Those are the best sharptail photos that I have seen so far. (After over 30 years of collecting reference material!)
    For some reason those air sacs always look washed out in photos, and the real birds are dead and shrunken by the time I see them.
    I always wondered exactly what they are supposed to look like when the birds are alive.
    Thanks a million!
