I was watching this female yellow-rump (in the background) foraging and preening, but the shots weren't great. Then her (presumably) boyfriend just dropped in and gave me a show. I love when that happens.

Incidentally, that's the first time I've seen these guys in the downtown core. Lost Lagoon, yes, a bunch of times, but never even in the seawall parks -- Vancouver, April 24
