Ostrich

Getting an ostrich photo was challenging. They were so close that I could not get all of a bird in the shot with my birding camera. So I thought I'd go for a portrait. However, they thought they would go for food so their heads were rapidly bobbing down to the ground and back up as they ate. Constant motion leading to lots of blurry shots. Finally got one of them mid bob. So.....the world is familiar with images of ostrich bodies with heads buried in the ground but I give you an ostrich head with no body visible.
