these little guys tend to stay back in the thickets and branches, and it's hard to get a decent photo of one. they used to be common where i live, but have become much more reclusive as "civilization" has intruded on more and more of their habitat. this little guy was perched in the branches of some shrubbery at a local botanical garden, and i was able to snag a shot through a gap in the foliage. took a bit of tweaking in PS to compensate for the shadows, but it came out acceptably well... thank God for stabilized lenses, though! this was shot at 400mm, 1/200, handheld...
