A few minutes later, it was back.
I was surprised how close it let me get.

Fabulous pic Andy. Sometimes when they are really hungry they will tolerate you getting very close

It's a long flight up there so it probably was hungry! Great pic!

I've had to chase these guys all over the yard, this one must have been really hungry. I got within 5 inches.
Glad you like the shots. I couldn't decide which was better, thanks for your comments.
Here is the 3rd from that set.
