Milton and the Bird-Box


Uncle Milton was proud of the bird-box in the front garden. VERY proud. And you can tell, can't you. Just out of shot is the shotgun that Uncle Milton used to protect that bird-box from marauding cats and critters.   "No tom-cat is gonna attack them fruit-warblers" he'd mutter to himself  all through night patrol.  The state found him a secure room to stay in soon after this.

NB. This was a colour Ektachrome slide from the early 1950's, but due to storage conditions, it's deteriorated and colour went a bit doo-lally. So, a monochrome version is probably the best you can expect.
