Beautiful bird, and it looks like he's not the first one to use that light as a lookout.

You are lucky he doesn't have thoughts of stealing your hat, as I bet he could do it if he wanted to.

Wonderful catch with sharp details, Vern. (And it's great to see the word 'paparazzi' used with the correct plural ending!)
