Thanks for the link Korky. Great to see their safe return and the reunions with Mum and Dad.

Wonderful! Thanks for posting these.

I just came across "prospective crop" in PhotoScapeX free software, this is the result - whether it's worth it or not... ???

Western Meadowlark spent 20+ minutes on the feeder in the afternoon.
