Folks -

Can't post an action-stopping snap of one of these feeding (like some  
folks we know), but I'll do my best to show something worth a look.

I have about 3 dozen shots of these birds and the difference in  
visible coloring from one instant to the next is startling (if  
anyone's interested I'll throw up 3 consecutive snaps of the same  
bird taken within seconds of each other.)
This is the one that seems to show all of the markings at the same  
time (as well as managing some subtle harmony in the background  
color) - I found very flat, overcast morning light to be the best  
tool for this job:
