I suspect that you may eat your words very shortly. Pretty soon we would love to have an actual dark picture of her in a tree instead of a dot on a map...

tisk, tisk, tisk :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh Fancy, I am just beside myself and don't know if I deserve to stand in Duane's & Henry's shadows!! :lol: :lol:

And thanks all - I'm glad they're bringing so much pleasure to everone! I was surprised Duane didn't have a big sign today at the Garden that said YOU SUCK!!!

Shelly - I am still in AWE of these captures. Just can't stop looking at them. That's our baby Diva and her Dad and I love them all so much. Without you we wouldn't have these . Today you are NOT in Henry & Duane's shadow -you are in a league of your own with these. I am finally getting to the tears part - so proud of our little Diva. They are just wonderful Shelly - thank you so much for sharing them with us. I also joined the Shelly "sucks " fan club in chat last night. I definitely agree YOU ROCK :D :D :D :D :D Dixie

Awesome photos!! I don't know what to say without sounding like I repeating anyone here! But I think these are fantastic captures. Anyone notice just how in control dad is over the whole thing? Upside down and all!! He kept his cool. 8-) :P

Thanks again all. Rose, you're too funny. I think I DID see a sign in Duane's back window as he was pulling out!! ;)

And I forgot to give you an ending of what happened after Azalea got the fish. She flew to the nest & ate the fish in there while the adult sat on the outside branch for a bit, cleaning it's beak - notice the tongue action! I still have pics of the before & after of Azalea too that I haven't done anything with yet but I'll let you know when I put them on my site if you want to look.

Shelly -- Thanks for the voice mail so I wasn't in suspense all weekend. I did leave before these were posted. And OMG what incredible captures!! Look at how in control Dad is. He is looking at Azalea with such intensity. He never takes his eyes off of her. And the poor girl is just all over the place trying to get it together. She's just like a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon: wings and legs all over the place. And then they got it together!! YAY!!! What a wonderful learning experience. She'll be stealing fish in no time! Great job Shelly. You suck so bad!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I can't help but wish I'd gotten this on video. But I'm so thankful you got these wonderful pics! Congratulations, you've really earned your place at the height of suckdom! :lol:

No superlatives left to use for these pictures, Shelly ... they are extraordinary! They belong in a textbook ... any comment from Reese on this action?
