Thanks Paul/Scott:

I don't know why this fellow just sat there. I could not have been 2 feet away. I was not complaining however.

Heather/Bev:

Thanks very much for the kind words. It is sure fun getting a nice shot such as this. I had never heard or or seen this bird before either, and I have lived in southern california for 30 years.

Thanks again.
