My friend Cara brought Felix over just to be photographed for the blog. Very nice dog.  Isn’t he cute?

Today when we looked out our 2nd floor window, someone was staring back.  With better eyesight too.

I ran to my office to grab my camera.  I put on my 200mm 2.8 lens and shot Raw knowing I might need to make adjustments.   I took a number of shots through the window screen.  I didn’t want to scare our friend away.

After I was happy with a few images I opened the screen to get a clearer shot and maybe a little closer.  The bird immediately spread its wings and flew away.  I tried to capture the flight, but all I got was an out of focus wing or two.

No award winner today. I have a feeling this image will be the extent of my animal nature photography in Detroit this winter.
