WOW! This might be a great tool to capture closeup photos of some of the wild birds that we see around here! With 3 bird-baths and 8 feeders in our backyard, we often see some of the more rare ones from time to time, such as the “Painted Bunting Male” that I photographed last summer:

This will be fun to play with! :-))))))
