Hi  Jayanand,

Thanks for the kind words.  It seemed sort of slow-moving, just resting on 
the front walk.  I made one shot on the concrete, thinking it might fly. 
Then I carefully slipped a sheet of white paper beneath it, and nudged it in 
the right direction.  It took directions well. ;~)

I looked for it again a half hour later and it had flown away.
