Thanks! They are a common summer resident here in Ohio. We have one that takes over our feeder each spring. The wife calls him Cletus. They are a harbinger of warmer weather and I always look forward to their return.

No shortage of warm weather down here in FL LOL!
Maybe I'll try to get a pic of one at my neighborhood park, though mine won't be nearly as good because my longest zoom is 135mm (18-135 kit lens)
