They don't call 'em "Bandits" for just their masks

First 3 from the base of a bird feeder near woods and a pond.

The 4th from atop a wood duck box (didn't have a climb-proof sleeve).

there wasn't enough light to keep using the 2x for the one on top of the birdbox.

By the time I got it off, the bandit was starting to climb down. These are substantial crops with the 300mm.

The last one is an extreme crop of #3 in case you were wondering how it was still holding on

Lol! what a terrific series Loupey of these comical characters, i love the expression on the face of the one in #2, what a great time you must of had.

Wow! The third shot is awesome!

Bev and Copy, thanks for looking (I keep getting your avatar images mixed up so I'm glad you both commented ) Yeah, they keep things fun.

Seeing these images here, I see that the nest-robber must actually have taken up residence there. He is dry when he is on top. And there was no way I missed him up there for that long if he was drying off. I must go back and wait for him to come back out. Although I don't know what more he can do except come down. Maybe he can stand up and wave at me.
