This guy loved being photographed. At one point, when I was about 5" away, he started to walk toward my lens, and when I peeked out to look at him, he jumped on my face! Luckily, after I brushed him away he landed on a window instead of flying away. The head tilts, cleaning, and posing were awesome to see...what an experience! Bunch of pics on my Flickr.

Really cool shots. I'm waiting on one of these myself, but either clean your sensor, or clone out the dust spots PLEASE.

Thanks! For that first shot I actually laid my camera flush against the wall and used live view to focus, it looked like he was going to crawl right into my lens.

Thanks mandokid!!

johendley - Thanks for giving me the push to edit out the spots! I couldn't get the clone tool to work, so I used some kind of 'healing' tool or something, and I'm a lot happier with the pics now.

Thanks again!!
