[Leica] IMG: The cardinal redone

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Here is an example of a bird I have only seen in dense brush, and  
rare at that. I would not remove the tangled brush as it would change  
it's habitat. I watched this bird for 15 minutes and it never came  
out of the brush, just flew from one bush to another. It's a White  
Throated Sparrow.
