I've been wanting an image like this for a while. These guys are swift and erratic, but on this occasion I had a vantage point where I could prefocus on the nest and keep my other eye open for when he would return with another "building block" for the nest. The males construct multiple nests pending the approval of his mate. She inspects the home, and if she disapproves, she rips it apart to let it fall in the water below...and he has to start over.

Great reward for your stakeout! Lovely wings spread and beautiful colors all in sharp focus. (I know it's nature's way, and this is how the gene for good nest-building stays in the population, but if I can anthropomorphize for a minute, she's awfully mean to rip all his work apart instead of just saying something like, "The bottom needs more support. Fix it and then we'll move in together.")
