Great picture, catch! I haven't gotten the little stinkers to sit still long enough. #1601068

Thanks Jane. You have to quick to catch them - it also helps to be camo'd-up and sit very still (making do with a 200mm lens). During the outing yesterday when I made this capture I actually had one of these guys land on the lens hood on my lens. Not THAT would have made quite a photo. Best Regards, Steven #11209760
