These are the best close-ups of the GreatBlue that I've ever seen. You remember how skittish the ones around our lake are here at home . I remember one cold winter day when they hadn't yet left for the winter, I bought minnows at the bait shop to feed them, but the hawks and crows got them first. Now when you come home I think you should take this post and turn it into a short article with all the pictures and submit it to a magazine.(Like Birds and Blooms) <span class='jfriedl'>I'd feel better about the pictures if there were a more natural background, rather than a building. That way, the viewer might be fooled into thinking they were shots in the wild, rather than more or less zoo shots of a tamed bird. —Jeffy</span> Wow, Jeff.

I thought there was something weird about him, waiting by the door and not afraid of the customers going in and out. We ate at El Latino (Higashioji-Marutamachi nishi-iru) last summer, which is also good but expensive with small portions. For Mexican you should come back to my 'hood and eat at Speakeasy. The bartender/cook there learned to cook Mexican food while living in L.A. and does a really good job.
