You got the first two right.

BTW Mike, I really like how you are doing your frames now (maybe they've been this way for awhile--but I just noticed!) Must be a lot of steps though!

Mike, We really got lucky with that little pond, I can't believe there were that may different shore birds (I.D. by jczinn) from such a small spot. The different sounds they all made was pretty cool.
