This little guy was feasting on the suet I was providing, but every time I stepped out onto the deck he flew away. I was using a manual focus 500mm mirror lens, so finally I just focused the lens, stepped back into the house, waited until he returned, then popped out the door and took this picture {all the time watching that one of our cats didn't use this as a chance to escape.

Note: When I moved this picture from my camera to my computer I discovered the camera's clock is wrong - bad enough that I turn 70 in a week, my camera had me as 100!!
