Standing At Attention

There is a wide variety of urban wildlife that likes to hang around the area next to our deck.  That is because, I believe, they are aware that The Crown Prince is a very messy eater and that as soon as we leave the area, they are ready to head in for a tasty snack.  We've already been to witness birds and squirrels climbing the steps up to our deck table to grab some leftovers.  This little guy was trying to get a beak up on the competition by stretching out as far as he could to see where the bigger pieces had fallen.  He would stand at attention from his lookout on the fence, just waiting for his moment to strike.  The photograph was taken at f/6.3, 1/500sec, ISO 100 at 200mm.  Any aspiring bird watchers out there?  Just invite The Crown Prince over for lunch.  He'll leave enough crumbs around to attract all the birds you could ever hope to see.
