Some conjecture as far back as 2002, though I think definitively and for the same bird, one can't say too much earlier than 2006 or 2007.<br /><br />I guess that means it will be there again, but also makes it harder to stomach continual misses.

By using my hands to stop the fall, my camera will swing around and smash into something. Thus, with a heavy heart. I had to cradle the dear sweet camera and hit the ground hard.<br /><br />There is no greater love than to give one's life for a friend, or totally wipe out to preserve some expensive electronics.Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791077723521794200.post-11608799973810785542013-04-03T07:11:14.359-07:002013-04-03T07:11:14.359-07:00Good stuff here, the redstart is a beauty for sure...Good stuff here, the redstart is a beauty for sure.
