Thank you Morris. I know very little about birds but since moving to Delaware (WIldlife=Birds) I am slowly learning. Is that a male? or a young bird? It is the same platform as the previous picture.

There are three birds in the last picture that I can see - looks like Mom is yelling at Dad to get his lazy a$$ out of the nest while Junior is looking away thinking "Not this $hit again"

Bob,
apologies - should have included in my earlier comment that I really like what you've done in the first image. Very cool.
