I had to lay there for a while until he was comfortable enough to continue on his search for worms. I was hoping the dog wouldn't discover me laying there and scare him off. Thanks for the comments Bob!

Extremely heavy crop because I had to edit out the bird feeder but hopefully it doesn't look too bad.
Denise, Nice portrait. Love the detail and the exposure is spot on. Tack sharp as well. The only suggestions I can offer is maybe edit out or darken the little food spot on the bottom of his beak.
Great shot.
