Oooh, yes, they really have some nice iridescent feathers. I wish I could bring my camera with me when I'm jogging, but it's just too bulky (and nice) for such excursions.
Man I know the feeling. Every time I head out in the woods or anything for a hike, I have to ask myself if I really, REALLY want to carry around 40lbs of camera gear. Most of the time I'm lazy and just head out with a single lens though, taking -everything- with me is just overkill unless I'm expecting to see something truly incredible.
