Before you ask: Yes, he has a tail and a butt. They are wrapped around him. Seems like that happens to the male of EVERY species around this time of year. :D :D

Another great shot and as far as his butt goes, she's already kicked it!

Curious in nature how the males are always more colourful and yet we seem to do all the chasing??? Maybe I'm just plug ugly.

Great capture...:beerbang:

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

While that may be the case in many species... I dont believe its a hard fast rule. I definitely dont consider human men to be the better looking of the sexes :P

I really like how soft the background is past the tree. Great shot.
And I feel that men ARE the better looking sex of our species.
Now, that may be cause I'm not a male LOL

I think that largely depends upon the woman and how close it is to closing time. :)

Thanks, folks. A guy on another forum said this was a lucky shot. No, it wasn't. I watch these guys a lot and am familiar with their behavior and movements. When I saw the male & female together at the feeding station, I pretty much knew what was coming next so I got ready for it. Sometimes there's a lot of work to getting lucky. :)
