mighty hunter at rest

i was intent on a white-crowned sparrow for my dp, there was a family of house sparrows working the seed you can see someone had strewn here as a back-up, and was just easing into position for a shot from about 8 feet when they all suddenly scattered and even the ubiquitous pigeons all took off. i wondered if somehow the fever had affected my ability to stalk when this young man popped out of the shrubbery. all was now clear, apparently i don't have the eyesight and reflexes to survive as a bird. since he cost me the shot i wanted i decided he'd have to substitute. about 5 seconds after i shot this he sprang into the bush having heard the same young sparrow returning that i had. he missed the sparrow and i swear the sparrow taunted him, from a safe distance. not the shot i was expecting to get but quite amusing and interesting to watch anyway. if you're interested please check out, and feel free to vote the stars you feel it deserves if any, my contest entry portfolio @ http://www.artistwanted.org/dedmanshootn
