Furrowed brow

My next-door neighbor put out some suet among all the skeletons and Christmas trees (and other stuff) in his front yard, but the sparrows at first seemed unsure how to approach it and pretty much ignored it. They finally figured it out, but this was taken when they were still pondering the mystery.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

One way to disguise an ugly concrete wall, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/500s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso125 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

The bird looks worried or puzzled. I am glad they figured it out. I love the capture of his little scowl. V

He certainly has a look of puzzlement, especially with the skeleton like acting as a scare crow. v
