Description
Initially, this cool little guy was hiding out by a bunch of mallards near the middle of the pond. I didn't even notice him until the ducks flew away, but then he was too far to get a good picture. Fortunately, my patience paid off. I got distracted by some sandpipers and looked back to see him gone. A few seconds later, I heard a bit of a crash in a tree about 20ft away where he had landed. I managed to sneak up a little closer and get some good shots before he flew off.
