I was able to get in the 9-10 feet range with this guy. He could care less and another photog showed up and he let us shoot him for 10-15 min. Very cooperative

The ones that I have seen are not very skittish and there is alot of people traffic near them so they are definitely native to their area. They are also ther all year long and do not migrate. I have noticed some migratory birds there but the Egrets have left for example... Alan "horse51" Barbor

Snydremark my very own Lightrules moment More info | Great shot, Alan! I used to have one like that here, but property management mangled the pond that he was in and he hasn't returned. We got ONE migratory that came through this year, but he would spook at a good 20yds - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife

A little L goes a long way.
