Thanks for the nice words :) It was really a dream come true for me yesterday. I've been wishing for a long time to be able to take photos of birds feeding their young and I didn't expect it to happen only in our backyard.

Thanks, Karen :) But I wonder why I always have to upload my first photo twice? It doesn't show up the first time.
