These were taken out in the country. He was making a lot of commotion in this Mesquite tree. I then went to investigate and saw that he was tending to some young.

Click on the pic for a larger picture. Thanks for looking. :)

Thanks Norman, surprisingly it wasn't to difficult. He was pretty timid though at first and really watched me for a couple of minutes but then went about his business.:)
