He came back today and I took a series of shots to see if I could animate them. Results not great...but with more care and planning might work. I posted the result in this thread. He's baaaaack.... and animated

Nice! I've never seen one with the tail spread like that before.

Nice capture. Brian, I suspect it is just trying to shed the rain and keep the feathers as dry as possible.
