takes keen eyes and steady hand
sheer dumb luck!
It's hard sneaking around on crunchy leaves,
even with sneaky ninja super powers.
Tom was driving them crazy with birdcalls from the PC.
It was a hoot watching them trying to figure that one out.
They'd come closer. They'd listen. They'd fly off.
So above are a male cardinal and a mocking bird. I thought it was a
blue jay but we looked it up. Mockingbird.
And butterflies. Can't resist chasing them bad boys down.
Many more came and went. I added the teleconverter lens to
my repertoire of stalking methods. I forgot you need
to manually focus, which made me slower than
usual. Fancy that.
I need to hire some posers.
