Same bird, captured on New Year's Day. Another frame, this time with a head turn and one eye open. Would have liked to get a frontal stare with both eyes open, but I was lucky enough just to get an almost unobstructed view. I was looking through a tiny opening in the vegetation, so a move of a few inches either way obstructed him. Subsequent visits have found him buried deep within the Junipers.
