A great collection of shot, Heinrich. I especially like the fourth one of a grackle, even though when we were sailing and our boat was docked in a marina that became infested with the critters they were the bane of my existence for a time.

Google "Super Glue"... it's your friend in these situations.

I had given that some though previously but am still looking for the appropriate applicator.

Trust me a shaggy roller works wonders, not from personal experience... but I'm led to believe by other learned folk.

Outstanding! Nice work Heinrich! If I had to pick a favorite it'd be the House finch.
