Gardenpom, it's actually not my first photo of a baldie; I got one just before Christmas as it cruised past the migrating geese, and several young'uns in the last month or so...just never knew I *could* get the camera up fast enough for this!

In more recent news, it turns out that my hopes from yesterday weren't totally unfounded: I did get a pic of a chickadee at a range of half a city block. I'm sure eventually I'll move up to a camera with better detail at that range someday when I can afford it, but that's still a heck of a ways to be getting a focus on such a tiny fella!
