I was able to get myself within 8 feet of this bird from my flat adobe house roof. The week before this I had tried to help this bird's sick fledgling with bird seed in one bowl and water in another bowl in a corner where the bird would probably be unnoticed. The fledgling was gone in a day or two but I think the parent remembered my good deed and allowed me to take this image.
