I curiois too...how did you manage to get close enough with a 200 to fill the frame? Is he so Tuckered out from migrating and breeding that he let you get that close?
A side note..they only have the bumps during breeding periods...
Good profile shot of the weary fella!

Ahh..I was thinking it was one of the migrating ones around here... that also explains why it was on the ground in the leaves...

I was thinking we should start calling you the bird whisperer...LOL
