I try not to post non-Pentax pics here, but I thought some of the
twitchers here might like to see this. A nest of Blackbird chicks
resides just inside the roof of our house and the mother flutters to and
fro bringing food and taking out the garbage (old feathers). I found a
very close vantage point trough my son's window. Here she is filling the
frame, just about to dart up under the wooden eaves...

Nice grab, cot, but that ain't no blackbird... that's an awful,
horrendous, European Starling.... ewwwwwww :-) (starlings are cavity
nesters and as such, due to their aggressiveness, displace less
aggressive Eastern Bluebirds in the US for nesting sites).
