A Saturday Night At The Movies contribution. The title is from a song by Chuck Berry also known as School Day. This House Finch seems to be ready to ring the bell for all the other birds to get to school. I thought the late, great Chuck Berry might help get you started for the day.

This was taken with a wireless remote. I've been trying to set it up and I think I have the hang of it. The cord on my other remote (not wireless) isn't long enough to put the camera where I want and allow me to stay hidden. The only problem I have encountered is the camera keeps going to sleep after some inactivity. I have it where it is suppose to stay awake for 15 minutes, but I'm not sure it knows that. I will keep experimenting. In the meantime, I hope you all have a good weekend. School is closed.

Good one and a great idea...You can alter the settings on your camera so it 'doesn't go to sleep'..But your battery would drain quicker! I have similar here..(But not cordless)..my camera battery lasts for over 2-3 hours!...

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), my cameras are also equipped with a wireless remote control facility. Initially I also had some difficulty with that. I pressed the button on my remote control standing behind my camera. However, the sensor is on the front of the camera, so it didn't respond. In time, I discovered that the remote control should be held on the side or slightly in front of the camera. However, the manual did not provide a definite answer to this. So I can well imagine that you also experienced or are still experiencing some difficulties.
Judging by the result, I think the latter is no longer the case.
An excellent contribution to the SNATM theme (🎥).
Very well done again, 👍

Crystal clear sharpness in this - I don't see the house finches where I live now - I used to see them all the time. I do see a lot of goldfinch.

This is a fine sharp image, Tick. I'm sure you will get that remote working perfect.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
