Amazing Moment

Description

A bird in the hand is worth...well, it's priceless. I watched this little Chipping Sparrow, I call Maggie, fledge the nest on my back deck. She had no fear of humans, so I was able to set-up this shot w/digital camera in right hand.

Thanx Diane. Someone recently asked me which arm got more tired...LOL. She was eating the seed from my hand, and I waited and waited for her to turn her head. I figured I only had one shot, fearing the noise from the camera would frighten her away. #406185
