Hi Robert,

Mean looking son of a gun! ;-) I think his cousin lives here in Victoria,
actually he has a lot of cousins living out here. ;-) And if this guy looks
like a mean moma, on the west coast we grow them bigger, meaner and a "don't
mess with me" look. :-)

You need an 800 with a 2X extender to save being attacked for just looking
in their direction. But, you've done a great job of staring him down and
captured rewarding photographs.
good one!
