Thanks Tom and R Paul, you guy's are'nt kidding. This guy really made me work for it. This fence sits along a stretch of road about 1/4 of a mile long. I would drive up within range for a decent shot and as soon as I lifted my camera he took off and flew 20-30 yds down the road and landed again, so I would move closer and as soon as I'd lift my camera, there he goes again further down the road until he ran out of fence and then started going back the other direction. We went back and forth on this stretch of road 4 times before I had enough.

Great Shot. I agree with Tom below. These have got to be the most skittish birds to capture.
