This specimen however, is not about to be overlooked! He has the most intense coloration of any Little Blue I have ever seen, and enough attitude (both probably attributable to breeding season hormones) so that he was certain to catch any photographer&#8217;s eye&#8230;and hopefully the eye of any prospective mate. \ud83d\ude42 I certainly hope he meets his equal and they raise a race of really intense Little Blues!<\/p>\n<p>Nikon P900 at 1600mm equivalent field of view. 1\/500th @ ISO 220 @ f6.3.
