Looking evil, so I named him the Dr.!!!

            A Purple martin rests near my location on the rock bank of Richart Lake, Muscatatuck NWR, Indiana. 

While sitting on the jagged rocks of the lake banks, swinging my lens around wildly trying to capture a Purple martin in flight, nausea started to set in. 

As an assumed act of mercy for this old guy, this fellow took a break from the action to sit on the rocks with me and rest. I wonder if he (assumed) was tired of the action as well. Like two old guys sitting on a bench in the park we relaxed together.
