Finally caught one of our little bandits during daylight...barely. The sun wasn't up yet but this one just froze where it was and I was able to rest the camera on a post within spittin' distance and get this shot.

Your Honor, I submit into evidence this photo showing the actual seed hulls on the very nose of the accused!

Nikon D70, Nikon 80-200mm at 200mm, f2.8 at 1/80 sec, ISO 800, -1 1/3 fill flash, cropped very little for comp.

Comments always welcome

HAHA...but but but - for a criminal he is SOOOOOOOOOOO cute

Excellent job here, Mike!!! It might need to be lightened up just a tiny bit...but the exposure and detail are great!

Nice capture, Although we have them around our neighborhood I too have not seen them in the light of day. A very elusive subject Nice job.
