these guys tend to be a little timid and like to hide on the other side of the tree... This fellow was pretty much non-plussed that I was chasing him around. Shooting hand held at a farily high ISO

    Pretty crisp too, for a 1/160 hand-held shot with that big cannon. thumb.gif

    Very nice.

    I've never managed to see the yellow belly on these birds - even though their name includes that description. So thanks for showing me another side of the bird!

    It was a miracle considering that I was shooting burst and out of nearly 100 shots, I had about 4 sharp(ish) ones.... Also, the neighbors likely thought I doing some bizzare dance as I was trying to find a braced position that would work.

    Thanks for the compliments guys!

    Good captures and smart move to take so many shots. In adverse conditions it always pays off to take as many shots as you can because the keeper % will usually be fairly low.
