Very Nice, Roger! Love the 1st photo the best. I think in the last photo, "Lewie" is saying: "O. K., I got to the top. Now, how do I get down?"

I read that these birds are more like flycatchers, they catch bugs in the air. They are also known to go after bugs on the ground. I think it was an Audubon site I read that on. So my guess is he's after a bug on the ground. Fantastic shots as well!!
