I was washing dishes and looking out the window and I see this guy sitting in the neighbors tree! MAN!!

I run, get my camera, slowly open the screen door off the deck ... and fire this off! Darn deck umbrella obscured my vision. I knew it would be tight. So, I inch my way out ... start to lift my lens ....

Sees me an instantly flies off!

Wow, that sucks!

Anyway, I did get this one shot. So close! I think he was fixated on a squirrel. Lucky squirrel, I came out.

Yeah, deck umbrella, like we haven't heard that photographer excuse before, you got your thumb in an otherwise nice shot. :lol:

Is she sitting on one leg?

Thanks, Dennis.

Photography: 100 percent art, 100 percent technical. It takes a photographer to blend them into an image.

Film: That tangible image that you can see and hold.

Yes, that is my story, an UMBRELLA! :lol:

Yes, sitting on one leg. This is one of a breeding pair that has been flying in my hood all summer. I see them and hear them, but they seldom land near the yard. Hindsight, probably should have left it alone to see what it was up to.
