I was hiding out waiting for a yellow warbler to appear from some bushes beside a pond and this GBH snuck up on me . I could hear something behind me so I slowly turned around and there he was. He was too close to focus on so I had to back up . I was able to get a couple of shots before he took off. This was taken at 120mm 1/1000 f 3.2 iso 400.

Nice shot Chris. I wonder how close he would have got if you hadn't moved? :D

I would like to be intact (or I should say, "I would like for my pictures to be ...") -- How is that accomplished when I convert the RAW to JPG?
