Fly!

I don't think he can hear you

Patience is a virtue, they will fly, you just have to wait!!

Ha ha they never do what you expect them to do, those wildlife photographers must have great patience! Love this little bird and your comp.

@paulaw I usually have a lot of patience as I shoot any of my wildlife pics like this, but sadly, it had been a long day, and the sun was falling, and I was only halfway home. So I just moved on. :0)

Not cooperating huh. Been having a bit of trouble getting photos to fit the theme this week as well

Beautiful

They never fly when you want them to.
Love the vignetting here - very effective.

I like the way he is hiking along there beside the road - almost as if he is hitchhiking instead of flying.

I was going to say 'strut'! Nice capture anyway.

I agree with the strut!!! we used the old term Truckin. a cool Bird shot!!

This is really cool. I love what you did with it.

Another good one! You have a good eye for a great pic!
