Nice behavior. Too bad you couldn't have gotten a little closer.

That would be the Female on the perch. The male does not have the rufus band.

A great shot getting both male and female in the frame, along with the action.

Love it!! Looks like he's showing off and doing 'wheelies' and she's yelling at him to look where he's going!!
