If you watch a branch long enough( 8 Hours ) something might land on it

What a great shot Rob. Excellent action shot. I have to be careful driving and watching the tree lines before I get into an accident. I saw 2 today but didn't have my camera.

Very nice, Rob, great result, and well timed on the landing. Patience is something I've learned to develop more as a photographer :) .

I got a good laugh from this one. I've tried that approach but I obviously need to work on my patience. Great catch.

That's the trick. There is one in my neighborhood but I've never been able to catch this bird on anything else. Beautiful shot.
