Thank you Ingrid3.. May be next time as he is a regular visitor to my home these days!!!
NEAT PHOTO! It looks like he is vocalizing! It would be cool to get video documenting the sounds. Many wild species have NOT been documented vocalizing in the wild. especially in the context of their natural behaviors! It would be cool and a original contribution to science! (I study sound communication in animals! can you tell!)
