That is one talented bird. Love all the varying poses, amazing it stayed around so long to pose and goof a bit. So nice to have such a semi-exotic (in my world at least) bird in your back yard.

Thanks for the great photos, he/she was really hamming it up for you. Fun way to spend some time, sneaking up on her/him, except the skeeters. As @dreemit says below, hard to get them to cooperate...maybe you are a fishing bird whisperer...
