Hi Barry,

Thanks for the kind words.

No, I don't have a real blind.  Today, when I first went outside, it began 
to rain.  To protect my gear, I opened the garage door, and set up my tripod 
and a chair at the opening.  This allowed me to see parts of the yard 
without being too conspicuous.  The pear tree, which gets a lot of 
short-time bird traffic, was about 40 ft away, so cropping was necessary.
