This week's motif is "RUFFLED FEATHERS" - please post your photos here of wild birds whose feathers are ruffled or disheveled when captured.
Thanks to Carmela (perubukid) for suggesting this week's motif.
Posting is voluntary, and if your bird pic doesn't fit the week's motif, you can post these as usual in the Bird Photos section. Only mods can open new motif threads, but all members can post and even guests can view the posts. Multiple posts are allowed too.
Let's post shooting info and standardize our presentation (see format of my first post) so viewers will know how the photo was taken:
Common name (scientific name)
Place and date of capture
Shooting detail.

Did you sneak in early morning and took a picture of me?

Brilliant motif shots, Reyno, Bobby and Tina! Plain Master, I just talked with my friend who's a senior VP in telecoms.... apparently, an underground fiber optic cable was ruptured near AA. He estimates that they'll be able to fix it within two weeks.

Excellent and well captured images in all !!!
Ed: Looks like Red-tail to me although it could be a Red-shoulder but I'm not sure if you have this specie in your neck of the woods.
