    Great shot and great title. However, he's probably preening, but who knows?

    Nice shot. I think he's checking to make sure his fly is zipped.

    Re: Itchy itchy

    Great shot.....
    Do you set your shutter on rapid fire, when shooting Wildlife? (I am sure I didn't say that right...LOL) But I am sure you guys know what I mean.....I am so used to shooting 6 fps or more for sports....wasn't sure if that was done in Wildlife also?

    I use continuous focusing mode but not shooting at 6fps. In fact, my camera simply cannot do that. It's a Fuji and it's known to be slow. I take one shot at a time and so it's timing and luck that give me what I've got. And most of my shots go to the trash can.
