Congratulations Hobbes both on the siting and photo. It is amazing how well this guy blends in with the building. Great view with excellent focus, color, lighting, detail, and eye contact. Outstanding Hobbes!!!

"1/200th second"??? that's not slow, 1/20th, that's slow|=)| Really pleased for you, Hobbes. These are great birds, but they're always perched high up, so you did very well with this, very well done
