nope, nothing that exciting, the "MG" are my initials and the "1968" is the year I was born.
Kind of figured that was a male robin, I don't think I've ever seen one with such a dark-colored head. |

I think you should definitely get one for your mid-life crisis car. It is a fun little money pit. I'm only a year younger- my midlife crisis car would be a 69 'vette - though with two young kids that's not going to happen.
All the robins around us are colored that way. The females are a little browner, but they are ruddy underneath - in general just looking like a faded male. In my town, the females outnumber the males about 2:1. According to my Peterson's guide, robins are in the blackbird family and you can attract them by putting out cracked corn and mealworms. |

Great photos Frank!
Laughed out loud at the first one. The last looks like it should be a hood ornament on an car from the 1930s. The kite looks like a bird you don't want to mess with. TFS |

Great shots on here as usual, it hardly seems fair to single any out, but Frank I love that Kite, it is gorgeous!
A few from me: Egret: ![]() Herons: ![]() Gull Billed Tern: ![]() "The chase" Not particularly good a shot and quite a crop, but I just liked the way the two at the back were chasing the one with food in formation: ![]() Cheers Dan |

Gorgeous shots Frank, especially the heron. Geese are not much better looking when landing. ![]() ![]() |

They do seem to know what they’re doing, and so does the photographer. Great job Silversurfer!!
