Love this little cutie. That pose and expression has attitude. Great detail in the bird. What is he sitting on?

Hi David,

This one is a cutie. Good detail and the feathers are quite fuzzy at this stage of life. My guess is that this one wanted to join you in the blind. Well done…Jim

This is so cool, David. The fledgling gave you a great pose and is the epitome of cute. Did you camo duct tape fade that much, or did you go to black and white? I used it on one of my perches and it’s turned shades of blue. While they’re messier, I prefer camo spray paints for durability.

Yeah, the camo spray paint is a good idea. Thie duct tape is about a year old…

Very cute capture of Mr. Fluffy. Good critical focus on the eye. One of my favorite birds.
