Morris

Looks like this Catbird has been eating berries! I guess a fly by treat is a bonus

#3 is a great capture and I love the pose and details on that last one, sweet!!

Well, I can check that one off my bucket list Morris, I've always heard about it but you've finally shown me the catbirds seat! Terrific sequence.
