MAN I think I can count on one hand how many times I have seen one of these in my 40yrs in my area!

Was at a local Nature Center today and spied this Guy in a tree by the feeders.
Low and behold he came down and BINGO I got some frames of him.

This one was the best.
(Sorry got a lil excited):rofl
Man can't wait till I get a 20D and at least a 300mm!:rolleyes

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
