Wow, those were really close, Jun.... wish our birds are that approachable! Thanks for your comment. I was going to edit my post to make an excuse for a mediocre shot. Kasi the bird was so fast. I could not focus properly. I saw woody by accident, he was feeding circling the tree trunk as he moved upwards. I was 30 ft away with my 200mm. This was as close I wanted to get. Anyways, we're fortunate not to have too many poachers to scare off the birds (but I'm not saying we don't have them. they're more interested in eagles, bears, and other "medicinal" ingredients.). This place is also a park. Maybe Woody was too familiar with humans.
