Birds!
Found some baby pictures from last year.

It’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end.

Not exactly a "song bird"...

Wasn't aimed at being a bird picture, as I didn't even see the magpie when I took the photo, but rather a landscape photo using a tree with fancy red leaves as focus.
Turned out I was dead wrong about the leaves as it was acctually in flower at the time and there was a bird in there that added some nice contrast.

Been thinking about blowing that one up on canvas but just haven't got around to it.

I am always amazed at how the various animals/birds so easily distinguish between a threat and a non-threat.
The turtle and duck know that the other poses no threat.
Even more interesting to me is along the roads. You can have loud/fast-moving vehicles driving right by some animal in the ditch or on a fence parallel to the road, etc. and the animals think nothing of it. As soon as you start to slow down -they get ready to take off and if you stop, they are gone immediately!

Well I suppose there is some truth to that. However, even humans do not pose a threat until they show interest.
Just this weekend, my brother and I were standing right under a big old Boxelder tree talking -not being quiet or sneaky. A Pileated woodpecker comes and lands right in full view only a little ways away. We looked at it for a while and it didn't care about us. So I thought, hey let me take a picture with my camera. As soon as I tried that - GONE!
