    wow nice shot Glenn. I have only one shot ever at one of these guys and I have never seen another again. Good luck. They are a very timid bird and you did extremely well considering that you shot through the window.

    Funny that last time I photo'ed one of them, it was through a window, too. Yours is much better than mine though.
