As much as this male sits and rules on the arbor
and this wire overlooking a flower garden,
the old man usually was sitting up higher up the hill
on a tall lilac tree that was cut down and a green plum
further down. My camera doesn't have the range to get
good shots (tried but lousy pics, manual focus is too slow)
but was use to him calling from there and
you watch great aerial displays as he swooped down
to the flower garden and how they can see their kind
from that distance is remarkable. Its 80-100 feet away-
I was use to seeing him even further in the berry patch
and marsh area when the rufous dominated.

On the wire wooing a female this guy spotted in the sage and salvia
