Shot in my backyard. This guy was really putting on a show, fluttering around, catching unsuspecting insects. Wintering here in Baja, his breeding season has just begun.

Thank you, ladies!!! I'd love to say that I struggled to get this shot. Truth of the matter is that my significant other spotted this guy in our backyard as I was "photoshopping" on my laptop. My camera was next to me with telephoto attached. The settings were already perfect(wide open ap), since I was out shooting birds earlier. In fact, I didn't even have time to open the sliding doors... shot thru glass. After cloning out a few spots from the glass, this was the result. How lucky can a guy get?!?! #1259917
