    One of my hobbies, besides woodworking, is being a bird voyeur. I sneak up on them and snap their photograph. Much like the papparazzi following Hollywood movie stars. It doesn't matter if I catch them taking a bath, eating, or just minding their business. Maybe I need a better hobby.

    c'mon Wendy, some of us blokes CAN do 2 things at a time ... even though our reputations often suggest that one of those 2 things is only breathing,

    You folks are lucky to have such beautiful birds to observe!

    Here all we get are pigeons and crows . At least the crows are interesting and smart.

    We get lots of the Red Rumps around here, they come and pinch the small gravel on the drive way for their crop.

    Can you guess where this one is from... The only "in the wild" photo!

    This one is looking for a mate...

    Glad to find out there are some more shutterbugs out there. Some of us have low thresholds of bordom and take on hobbies other than woodworking. I would show some of my photos but have yet to figure out how to attach images that aren't in a URL.

    Now are there any cooks out there? I've got some great cajun recipes!
