but allow them to visit and drink. They decimate my peaches by eating them green and dropping them to the ground. But then again the racoons eat their share of papaya and mango, so I try to produce enough for us both

the tail detail was the best part, perhaps not as impactful unless enlarged. The low sun angle did cast those shadows i wish were not there. What's pretty amazing is I was photographing the birds bathing at 1/1600 sec to better catch the water drops falling at f/18 and the auto ISO capped at 12,800, so pretty noisy.
