Bird shoot ends with cat

After dinner, I went out for a walk to the park with my camera, hoping to catch some birds on digital film. Here is what I got:

  • Spooked several Northern flickers because I did not see them as I approached; no shots
  • Did not have telephoto lens attached when a spotted towhee sat on a branch in perfect light, singing away surprisingly close to me; by the time I got the lens on, it had flown off
  • Did get three shots of a single robin, all of them fuzzy

I thought of shooting a pic of a crow at one point, but even it flew away, too.

So instead I got this shot of a neighborhood cat snoozing on the front steps of its home:

Good kitty.
