male reed bunting (emberiza schoeniclus)

love these little guys and this one seems to be building a nest near where i feed the birds at the pond and always comes over for some,not afraid at all and comes very close.infact the other day i threw seed on the edge of the pond on the ground as usual and this little guy was there and did not move as he got hit by the seed just started eating it.by the way i never saw him when i threw the seed or i would have thrown it at the other side.
