At Springbrook Prairie in Naperville, IL

Walked near a group of 4 on the ground.

Like stirring up a hornet's nest

This subject has been a focus of mine for several weeks. I've taken over 500 pictures, spent 50+ hours in the field (often very cold), 10+ hours editing photos, and I use $15k worth of equipment. All for the chance to get a shot like this one. Worth every penny and minute despite the fact that I'll not get paid. I'm not sure why, exactly, but I doubt I'd be as enthusiastic if it wasn't for the feedback I get from my flickr contacts. Thank you all.
