Idea: an anti-burglary sensor that turns on a bunch of those extremely bright stadium lights, except indoors, making it literally impossible to see due to too much light.

a song sparrow standing up with its neck stretched all the way, as to look around. it is still carrying plenty of bugs in its beak
the song sparrow now hopped around and is standing under a beam of sunlight, looking pretty against the background
the song sparrow flew away and landed on a thin leafless branch. it is hiding its face behind the branch a bit, grasping tight to the branch. it is still holding tight to its delicious snacks

If you have a Nikon Z camera, and an AF-S 200-500 ƒ/5.6 lens, you should seriously consider getting the 1.4x teleconverter.

Don't worry about it becoming an ƒ/8 lens. These cameras are too good. I'll post more photos later, but have a look at this one, taken at full 700mm, ƒ/8:
