Two nice photos A Mac. That Cardinal is strange looking, isn't he? His wings look so transparent.

You may have to click < or > to get to the Cardinal.

It's amazing how those wings are able to carry that bird through the air as it does.

Somehow, Kavika, I expected you to say something symbolic about the Cardinal's feathers.

The house sparrow looks the way I feel sometimes.

I appreciate your kind words, Petey, but the shot had a lot to do with being at the right place at the right time and then being lucky.

But I thank you.

The shot of the Cardinal on Flickr is better than mine and worth seeing.

Thanks for the link.

I'm trying to put together another set-up for bird photos. And early this morning, I saw a pair of fawns come out of the woods into my back yard. I'll be watching for them.

The house sparrow looks the way I feel sometimes.

I think that's how I felt when I took the picture.

A.Mac, I hope I haven't transgressed your copyright by doing that.

No problem; the rules are relaxed for friends.
