Caught this guy napping. It's funny how they alternate opening one eye at a time to check for trouble. When gulls would fly over he'd pull his head and watch them until the were far enough away then go back to his nap.

Really pretty low angle shot. I'm always on the look out for these guys but so far I've only managed the south end of a north bound bullet.
