I've had several opportunities to photograph one of these guys, but have never had anything turn out that I actually liked. I was lucky enough to have this one flit down right in front of me and stay put long enough to get a decent photo.

Nice shot. Do they nest in trees?

Congrats! Nice to find when they cooperate; they like to hide on the opposite side of the tree from me, usually :D

@SJC: They sure do

Great capture of a hard to capture wp. When I see them, they scoot around to the backside of the tree. Guess that's typical behavior...
