Meet the most cooperative wild bird I've ever had the pleasure of crossing paths with. This little fellow was so relaxed that I swear he started to nod off as I photographed him from a few feet away. Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Excellent catch Wendell - good photog's always relax their subjects - a little hynosis perhaps? LOL

Wendell...

Send that bird over here. I can't get anything to sit still. Wonderful clarity and focus on the shot of this little guy. Excellent detail on the subject and a great unfocused background. Excellent depth of field.

Judging by his tail-feathers, he looks like some kind of swift. Guess he must be tired after a long flight. Great shot, Wendell.

The little bird seemed very sleepy or tired after a glut may travel long distances. Nice Shooting, Wendell.

Thank you verymuch for your comment on "Wild flowers at the zoo".
