I had a great time with this bird. He was behind a small dune and I could never get him to rise up for a picture. After a while I started "chirping" like a baby gator in distress, and up pops his head looking for an easy meal. I did this a number of times, and every time his head would pop up. I finally had my images and left the frustrated bird still wondering where his baby gator meal was.
