Love this shot! I had one in my yard last year.

I have another shot in my gallery that shows all the birds taking flight when this guy came into the area. I noticed all the birds scattering, so I knew a predator had to be in the area. I scanned the area and found this guy trying to hide in the branches. I was zoomed all the way to 560mm to get this one.
