Best that I can say is that it's a boid w' wings. It flew away soon
after I took the pix.


Well at least you caught it in the Pict.!

Not to mention, it takes more Lead to bring them down than you get in
Meat!

Yep, Cornish Game Hens are a much better choice. Plus you can get 'em
ready to eat at a local eatery...


Smoke'em over Hickory Hot Smoke (~ 250 degrees F.) for 1/2 Hour then
Roast'em. There's some seriously Good Food!

Some of the image stabilizers on digital cameras are pretty good.

Here is a 12x zoom shot of a boid shot with a Panasonic FZ10 hand held.

Very nice detail and the type of bird picture I have yet to accomplish.
After having a Canon stabilized zoom on order for 5 months and no delivery
in sight I bought the ordinary 70-300 to have something to use. I now must
use use the poor man's stabilization-crank the "ASA"- but at least on a
digital camera this is the work of a few seconds. Posted--my _only_ decent
bird closeup, and it was close, about 6 feet away.
