[Leica] IMG: More Experimenting with Bird Images

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks for the illustrations, Doug.  I'm not trying to compete with your 
beautiful images, just entertaining myself, and trying to find a few 
images to post.

That blind looks really handy.  Your collection of broken limbs, 
blooming trees, etc., all add to the natural look that makes your images 
so successful.  And you are at least a generation of lenses and cameras 
ahead of what I'm using.

I do have an X-T2 in the mail, so maybe a few more pixels will satisfy 
me for now.
