    My one yearly bird shot.

    I'm just not a birder. This is as good as it gets for me. Heck, I don't even know what kind of bird this is.

    Re: My one yearly bird shot.

    I will make you a deal..... I will ID this bird if you tell me how to pull out my wisdom teeth myself ;) Every tooth in my mouth wants to shift for the last 3 days and oh does my jaw hurt!! I guess I need to find out IF I do indeed have dental insurance(since my med card doesn't reflect that I do, but my union says I get dental)

    OK seriously, Your bird is a male house sparrow and though your not a bird shooter, you captured a perfect head angle for ID shots!!!!

    See you next year..... Santa ;)

    the blue sky really makes the bird stand out, great shot!

    I can help with the tooth there Paul, all you need is:

    1: one bottle of whiskey, your choice
    2: my compressor
    3: my air chissel
    4: maybe a second bottle for recovery
    5: let me know when your ready I'll drive out and fix you right up


    Nice catch there Lionhart....hmmm, my sky's always come out white, or gray, even on bright sunny days with clear blue skies
