Hi everyone !
This is the only "keeper" out of literally hundreds, maybe thousands of attempts. He finally got curious one day and landed in a tree fairly close to me. I suppose my luck might improve if I'd venture out into the water and hang out there for awhile, but that doesn't sound very appealing !
Hope you like it.
