Look. Up in the sky. It’s a bird.

It’s always fun to try to freeze something in motion. One version of that was “Red Barn in Red Wing,” back on May 2, when I was what was in motion. I think this is a black-capped chickadee, though I’m not at all sure. And I was straining my camera’s resolution even in this good light. But there it is, pretty much frozen in midair.
