I still don't have a good bike lock yet but I found the one defect I don't care for that the display has no easy release so I could just pocket it with me when at the library or such. I do have a front wicker basket and I push the display down as far as it will go so it's in my basket. Then I happened to have a black felt pouch that fits the display perfectly so it's kind of camouflaged. Just curious if you take the time to unhook the display, which I know is not supposed to be often because of the pins or do you feel it's secure enough with your good bike locks that you don't worry about it?

This is the 2nd year in a row that cardinals have made a nest in my shrubs and I've been able to see the process from start to finish. I've seen the hatchlings when they're blind and squirming around, when they start chirping louder and louder when the parents come to feed them, and now when they're standing up and moving out of the nest to a branch higher up. I got to see Roger Jr take his first flight low to the ground and then hop around. Marietta took the longest to launch. Her folks (Roger and Mary) kept returning to encourage her but she said Nah, until late afternoon. Then she finally dropped to the ground, batted her wings while mom and dad fed her on the ground, then hopped over the fence and off they go. I'm so proud and a little sad but hopefully they'll be back.
