This is the male of the pair that nested near a corner of our house. I tried to photograph him yesterday, but he didn't cooperate. Today I walked so close to him, before I realized he was there, that I had to back up in order to shoot. He was alternately preening and singing. What a sight; I've never been closer to one.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Thank you and, yes, I like shots like that too where the background is distant enough not to confuse.

Thanks, Ted. I've gotten good female shots in the past, but these are, for sure, the best male to date.

Wow Awesome Al, I had some around the house but they have been taring around after one another making it quite impossible to get a shot. Very nice. Accidental encounters are the best
