Nice Paul - that one is nice and sharp. It sure is hard to get them to sit still long enough for a good shot.

Yeah it is!!! They usually land high up in a tree at the edge of the yard, and 'bounce' from tree to tree until they get to the suit basket. This one landed pretty close to me and I was afraid to try and move so I could get a shot without the branch in the way... He was so close that I had to hold my camera vertically to get all of him in the frame.
