Low on rez, but I liked the look. Pana G1, 45-200 at max. zoom, ISO 80.

Well, he doesn't look really happy, but his wing patches are mostly covered so he's not feeling too hostile.  I remember, years ago, wandering through a swamp with a pair of chest waders looking for an active blackbird nest.  The parents weren't listening to my assurances that I wasn't going to harm their chicks and I actually got a pair of wings in the back of the head for my trouble.  Made two images and moved on... no permanent damage to anyone involved.
