    Thanks for the compliments and looking Ed, Iggy, and Bambi, I had talked to a pro nature photographer and as he said you always need to have patience and let the wildlife come to you. You cant go chasing it.

    Nice capture of a very nervous hard to capture species.
    You can find a very cheap blanket blind just to throw over you and that will help immensely. All thats needed is to break up your human outline.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!
