being watched

Posted By mike sanders

last nite i came out of warm room to change filters on scope and had the feeling i was being watched. i looked up and saw this looking down at me. all i had available to take pic with was a cheap digital camera, i thought after first flash he would fly off but he stayed around for about 15 pics. he stayed on perch looking down at me for 30 min. the pic did not come out very good (cheap cam ) wish i had had a real camera.
