I have been looking after this guy for some time now. They are just sooo darn hard to get close to. He has gotten a little more tolerant but just barely. Sorry about the flight picture but think you get the idea. Maybe one day the darn sun will shine here and give me some real light :(

I too am trying to obtain my own shots of this elusive little Falcon and I feel your pain about trying to get close to one. Just when you think it's tolerating you with a flick of the tail it's off. Keep at it though...one day the planets will be in line.

Thanks all. Sometimes I think it would be easier if they just flew totally away, but seems they like to fly just far enough away from you to tease you. It can be frustrating. I try and not bother them very much.
