When I found this fellow in a tree, he seemed to be taking a nap. Once he was aware that I had stopped nearby on the wildlife drive he awoke and we sort of had this moment where neither of us moved, waiting to see what the other was up to. He sort of reminds me of “Mr. Burns” from the Simpsons cartoon.
From my Monday 7-6-2009 trip to the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge outside of Smyrna, DE.
