The little guys have been active around here just lately...I think they can feel spring in the air.
Went after this one with the 135L today...he's a little shy!

Ooh, what a pretty little bird. A serious tail though! :) I really like the last two shots.

Thank you all!
Although you can get close to them they're quite difficult to capture on camera as they never stop moving! Thes are crops of course...they don't let you get THAT close with a 135 lens.

Really cute little guy. Nice shots of him. I bet he's a hard target. :)

Thanks Mitch...yes...I have to confess to a lot of near misses. But that's okay when you get even a few keepers.
I think I'll close down a stop or so next time though...the DOF is just TOO shallow!
