Barred for Life

This was a once in a lifetime oppertunity. I saw this guy out in the daytime at the local state park at eye level. He wasn't jumpy at, which is really unusual for a barred. He let me get about 10' away before he would jump. Then when he'd jump, he would only fly about 20' away onto a different perch, thus giving me more photo opps.
Here are a few of my shots I really liked...

The first perch:

Great shots!

Nice shots Terry. This is nesting time now, so it might have had a nest in the area.

Great captures, lucky you .

Great shots, probably thinking "Flaming Paparazzi, why don't they give me some privacy "

Great shot!!!!!

Great shots Terry, and what an opportunity you had - you certainly made the most of it!

Wonderful shots there, I especially like #2.
