Unexpected Guest

After dropping the kids off at school yesterday, I saw this guy perched on the fence.  For some reason that morning I had put my camera in my purse, so it was handy.  I tried to approach him at the fence but he jumped down into the yard.  These shots are taken over the fence using the pull out digital screen on my camera.  It took me a minute to realize he was starting right at the screen.  I think he was hurt, b/c when I walked through the gate he was only able to fly about four feet high to the next yard before he landed on the ground and flopped out of the way.
