Boy that shuttle looks banged up.

One thing I read was it was placed in the museum in the condition it was when it landed after it's last mission.  They didn't clean it, or fix any of the broken/missing tiles.  It's part of the charm considering they had the Enterprise (the glide test plane) in there before, and it looked, well, like a museum piece. 

I haven't been there since they swapped it out.  I will be there in April though for the AH meetup.

I don't know what kind of bird this is but my trees out back are full of them. They are small similar to the size of a finch. I even got pooped on by one of them while trying to get a picture of them. Anyone know what it is?

Titmouse

I think this is it and they love to be around people for some reason. Hard to say for sure because of the way the head is turned but I think that is it. Very numerous and are scared of little and make an easy meal for cats and other predators because of this.

That looks like it frodo thanks!

Here is a great blue heron that was sitting on the bank of my pond. When I got my camera out my stupid dog chased it away. At least I got a couple decent shots of it.

Nice shot, yep titmouse;
 I never seen one in my backyard , and  I help the birds with  seeds every cold winter in my backyard ;
some of my daily visitors ;

 





 

.......and this beast doesn't like seeds, lives well vulching cute finches around my feeders

It's easy to feed chickadees and titmice from your hand. When they are mobbing the feeder, go and put the feeder away. Put a chair where the feeder was and sit there with seed in your hands. Be very still. They will be landing on you within 15 minutes.

Great fun for the kids. I have a Polaroid of them eating off my hat brim. It looks like they are going to collide with your face but they flare at the last minute and land on the brim. That would make for a great POV pic.

I've had them sitting on my rifle barrel while hunting too.

I don't even have a feeder out there. I will go get one though and try this. My kids would love this.  

Edit: What do I feed them? 

[BuckShot]

Black Sunflower seeds.

If you haven't had a feeder out, you might want to leave it out for a week and keep it full before you try.

Chickadees are the most bold and agile. They were revered by northeastern native Americans for that reason.

Yeah, I was planning on waiting a while until they got used to it. Thanks! Hopefully I can get some cool shots of them feeding as they are mighty hard to spot in the trees.

New bird feeder out and we had our first customer about 2 hours later. Once the word spreads I hope I can some decent shots of the birds eating from it.
