1. Great catch.

2. You get a reward for commenting, Alfredo

You get to see the "getting ready to do the long jump" shot



and the one that proves this bird can fly.



I'm at home, healing, with not so much to entertain me....
so I built a little twig and seeds aviary, knowing that if i build it they will come and entertain me while I wait for what i can do with both arms.

4. Great pics, Mira, and great idea for entertainment!

8. Nice Picts. What you need to do is attach a tripod head to your cast.

I'd suggest more plaster. Duct tape might work, but it won't be as steady as good hard plaster.

You can soak the plaster off the head when you are all better.

5. Amazing focus for the zoom you must have used

I'm from Ohio and wondered how you found a Northern Cardinal this time of year.

Curious, I looked it up and was surprised to see how many states name it as their official bird (eight).
At least it's not a chicken like two states. It wouldn't seem right to pop the state bird into the oven, though it would make a delicious photo.
