It’s looking more and more like Dr. TJ Ray – HottyToddy.com’s photographic aficionado – is getting desperate for areas in which to shoot (if the location of this one is any indication).

To our surprise, Dr. Ray parked himself in the HottyToddy.com parking area and waited. And waited… and waited… before finally being rewarded with these two guys (or perhaps, girls) showing mercy and giving the old guy a break with this quick photo opp.

Dr. Ray identified the “speckled” bird as a Common Flicker and the other, of course, as a Robin. Spring indeed is trying to rear its beautiful head.

Thanks for your diligence, sir. And remember; you’re welcome to come shoot in our parking lot anytime you’d like. I’m sure others around Lafayette County would agree.
