Since the Owd Timer picked the new contest, I felt compelled to enter. This Red Bird was lost and he saw my Cardinal Flag waving from the front porch. He figured I could give him directions to St. Louis. He had flown in from somewhere back east. I think I detected a slight Boston accent. He said he wasn't treated too well there and claimed those folks were world serious. The only thing he liked about them was the color of their sox. I told him he needed to go south and a little east to get to St. Louis. About that time a crow landed in the yard and offered to fly with him part way. I have been eating crow since the World Series so this one was safe. He liked my pad and tweeted "wait til next year," as him and the Old Crow headed south. Maybe Mimi will console him when he arrives there.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
great detail in this bird but... the expression on his face reflects one of disappointment or even animousity. seems to be a dual massage in the narrative and typed out in the same style & form that mesmerized does when contacting customer service. then again i could be wrong.
nice shot TicK!

Who's cruel idea was it for the word "lisp" to have a "s" in it?
10-4 Tick..I will do my best to ease the Cardinal pain.
Too bad he had a bad experience back East....plus I didn't even like their socks :)
Well done my friend!

Straight line distance it's about 1450 miles from here in SW direction. As the crow flies it could be tens of thousands of miles. Crows aren't exactly known for their ability to fly in straight lines; they get easily distracted.
A good capture of the cardinal Tick. Nice details and colour in the bird and good composition of the photo. Best of luck in the contest.

"Never stop photographing. It is very likely that your best photograph has not yet been captured"
The crow can be a good guide but not at all trustworthy. Hope the cardinal gets to his destination, especially as the crow now knows who has eaten his friends. Ideal entry for the contest Tick. The crow would have blended in nicely here too.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
It's really great to see a new posting from you OFT (Owd Fella Tick). Your very fine image is a perfect entry for the 'Selective Colour' contest. Wish you a lot of success with it. Let me, however, not forget to say that I've enjoyed your narrative as well. It's original as usual.
Best regards, my friend,
Cornelius.

SOT dear,
I saw this image last night but was too tired to comment.
Today I realise that it was not a case of tiredness but mental traffic jam. Feeling unable to make any witty remark, I just say: homing pigeon it is not, but let's give him a chance. And do not bother to comfort me.... My mind's not working...

Well done Tick and loved the narrative(although I don't know how you could understand him with that "Baahston" accent!)

Stupendous image Tick. The colourful bird might be lost but he found a great tree to rest in. I love how you've treated this image.
ps. good to see you back!

Very cleanly done. It is hard to do selective color without it looking "pasted in." Great entry.

Emptiness is not nothingness. It is simply the opposite of full of it.
Sharp, vivid,the color contrast could not have been better, the selection of this bird and especially the composition are perfect. I tend to prefer the actual "colors" of Mother Nature, but you may have won me over with this photo... it is stunning.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Good one, Hitch! I saw a female cardinal at our bird feeder this morning... Now I know where her spouse was...
