This guy made my day, but it took 11 hours to find out. I wasn't sure that I got a decent shot of him, but even with stuff in front I'm happy. I'm even happier because I didn't have to touch a thing when developing - this is straight from Capture 1. For a black bird like this that's not easy.

Luck is cool.

It looks as though it's saying; "No, I'm not signing that model release until you toss that crust of bread over here. :shock:
Nice catch,

Congratulations... great shot.

These guys are tough to capture. If the black feathers weren't hard enough, the little buggers like to half hide all the time.

We've got a lot of them at this refuge, and many like to perch on top of the cat tails and sing.

I got a few of them here (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=27366&highlight=okalee)

Nice capture. Getting that close to one of these birds is not easy.
