These would-be-bloopers got there just a little too late — but their would-be victims felt the chilly hand of their almost fate.
Not a blooper — unless you’re talking about the person who did this to this bird — but the banding on this cardinal (below) seems to me to be … excessive. I think it has two bands, but maybe it’s a container with a secret message from a foreign government. [Addendum: given that the carrier bird is a cardinal, I feel confident that any message would be from the Pope.]

The top picture is superb in its own right.
In fact … it’s ( a word I dislike, shudder at, have never used before, but in this context…) awesome.
