Here is an image made in January 2011, showing the then-resident male. This was taken with the Oly E-1, with a Pentax bellows to which was attached a lens that is now about 125 yrs old. It is an 8-inch portrait camera lens identified as a No. 6 Symmetrical, made by Ross (London), and is equipped with Waterhouse stops from f/16 to f/64, but no shutter. The image was taken at a distance of about 15 feet, from the cab of my truck. The lens was "wide open". http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Mocking+Bird.jpg.html Enjoy! -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
