GREAT picture! I'm assuming the maiden flight went well.

Had a young mockingbird in the yard Thursday, stretching his wings and jumping from bush to bush. Had a couple of rough landings when he would overshoot a bush but he kept at it. After about five minutes he all of a sudden seemed to understand what he needed to do, got airborne and sailed off over the street. Came back a couple of times just to circle the yard and then was gone.

Pure joy!
