I found some relatively cooperative meadowhawks on Saturday that gave me some nice front views:

Rob's been taking a lot of pictures of these this year, and they look so cartoonish to me and like they are smiling! The last shot, he actually looks like he's laughing. Interesting creatures they are and beautiful in their own unique way.
