Love all your work!

The roosters are great! My grandparents had bantams & one that looked just like that bottom one with the glossy blue-black feathers.

Are you the DUer who posted drone photos several years ago?

I was stationed there for 12 months, March 1970 to March 1971

you can get a feel for what it was like with this slide show:

If so, you are one of those newfangled Superagers. You look to be about 65.

but no, not in the war, and I'm 76. I was there 17 years after the cessation of hostilities, but it was barely better than combat conditions, dirt roads, lots of minefields, and cold as hell.

the cold. He had a photo of him with a beard that was full of ice. As I recall, the war was a shit-show between MacArthur and Curtis Lemay - followed up by the Domino theory. and Viet Nam.

The hero of it all was Bob Hope. I recall the story as best as I can- Bob Hope hosted the Christmas show for years. During the Nixon Administration, Bob wanted to take the Village People on one of the tours. Some one told Nixon that the Village People shouldn't be on the tour because of their subliminal sexual message.

Bob told the USO officials, if they don't go, I don't go.

Bob and the Village People were on the bill for the tour.

I know the show was a real treat for us, even at 16 degrees F.

And it’s good to have a face to put to the madness! Love the pics!!

Handsome guy!

but thank you!

credit to my wife, the photo had to be at 1/60 sec and she did a perfect job of holding steady. Anything over 1/60 had banding from the lights.

According to google:
"The image features a rooster, likely a hatchery-quality Welsummer breed.
It has a single, large red comb and prominent red wattles.
The plumage is a distinct partridge color pattern, with a vibrant orange-red neck and back feathers contrasting with black chest and tail feathers.
It is one of the closest domestic chicken breeds in appearance to its wild ancestor, the Red Junglefowl.
The breed originated in the Netherlands and is known for both meat and large, dark brown eggs."

I tried to get as low as I could without getting on my knees and I said to my wife, "I hope he doesn't attack me!". There are hundreds roaming around so I think they are accustomed to people getting close. She wants to go back and do a "chicken study" soon.

getting down was easier than getting back up; but now both directions are, well, not feasible.
