Nice looking subject, and I Like that he is looking at you. I am finding the vegetation quite distracting.

Frank, That place is so tricky....the shooting angle is not ideal, it doesn't open until the light is harsh, and the backgrounds are messy. You have a great species here, but honestly, I've never been able to make that location work.

Thank you Ladies:

Marina, Grace described the environment better than I ever could.

Grace, my loop is Jones, Lido, Nickerson and Oceanside when I am on the south shore and "you never know."

I got exactly two shots at 10fps and he was gone, but spotted in a group early this morning.

See you soon.
