To steal Pondrader's theme, sort of. Watching the HB feeder when this guy landed on 1 of my White Pines at the back of the yard. And amazingly, didn't pick a spot behind a branch or in the deep shade! I flailed around w/ the color on these as that seems to be my nemesis along w/ noise and I see they don't quite match each other, so...? Anyway, a break from the hummers for a bit.

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

Thanks, guys, I really wasn't sure how these would "fly". Somewhat drab, but I think they are pretty close to what my eyes saw. "Don't mess w/ Mother Nature!"
