lol I had a red-tailed hawk that did that to me at Marie Curtis..two years in a row, he would hang out and taunt me..then sit pretty for pictures for hours...seems he had more patience then I did (had to leave cuz the memory card was full)
of course, he did not follow!

Well, starting over with the count, might as well to be positive...  I am two for two now.     It was Angie's first time seeing him and she just knew he'd be there, and he was, right out in the open.  This is where the pellet spewing occurred.  Now I have had a few good long looks at him, next is to hopefully get a photo I am very happy with.

Interesting that people are saying there are two of them now.  One will hopefully sit pretty for me one of these days.  I will have more patience when the temperature is above zero though.

Laughing at the last couple comments.  It's posts like these that make the board so enjoyable.  Butcherbirds...  ha ha ha...
