I find these little guys very frustrating. They let you get close, but not really close enough (not with my 200mm lenses, anyway). And even if I manage to get a shot, it's hard to get many; they don't seem to sit still for long.
As I said earlier, the wind conspired against very sharp shots that day, but the light was nice and as Christina said, the bird gave me a good look. Thanks for the nice comment, Walt.
