As I get near the bird, in order to catch it "on the wing" I fling off my disguise and shriek "I'm a cat!". The adrenneline gives the birds a flush of extra color. This type of bird I've not seen in doug's portfolio, so it must be rare indeed! Oh, and I give you martin howard and his homemade blow gun: http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/pix/paw/2003/42/1.jpg Kyle - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
