First real attempt to get him. I've been putting down corn for them to eat hoping to be able to get closer to them. I sat on the ground a few feet hoping that one would come down and eat. Paid off. Be gentle...I'm learning. Trying the rule of 3rds thing...did I get it right?

Shot with Canon 55-250mm IS II. I tried with my Sigma 70-300mm, but the pics were no where near as good. Can't figure out why, but they were blurry.
