I was able to catch him. He was only close for a few seconds.

Yikes! Did you catch him in a net and hold him down? Great shots Rex!

Cool woody. That is a 100% crop I assume? I can see some noise but it could be delt with if you wanted. Great shot of it on a nice perch point and BG. I can show you an edited version if you want me to.

Thanks, all, for the comments.
No angle, thanks for asking. You can take a stab at it. You must be my personal PPer.
It is a 100% crop of a different shot. The uncropped shot may not stand up to it.

Whoa! These are terrific, Rex. You really seized the opportunity he gave you in those few seconds. Great work.
