That is one great capture! Very well done. Wonderful timing. I think you meant to say Sanctuary. None the less this is a fantastic photograph. Thanks for the smile!

Nice shot, Batch. Great title. The bird looks as though it dressed up for dinner. Nice bow tie.

Very nice shot indeed catch and the title is great Those guys constantly hang out in my trees given that I'm not all that far from the sanctuary, but I've never captured this nice a shot at all.

I wouldn't say that. I know my fingers are faster then my brain most of the time. Especially at 3am.
Still a darn great shot, no matter how you spell it!

Very cool looking bird. Like kxvet said, it looks like it's wearing a bow tie. Great job, good exposure and sharpness under tough conditions.
