The diameter of that pipe is 1.25 inches. I calculate from that that this bird is 15 inches long which would mean it is most likely a he, not a her. According to the Wiki an adult female should be between 17 and 20 inches. Mea culpa (my bad).
What type of camera are you using?
Nikon L340. I can take some amazing shots and the zoom is ridiculous and it's cheap, I think I paid $120 for it and saw deals as low as $99. I used to have an SLR and lenses worth about $1500 that I lost in a burglary. This can do so much more. I still miss the old setup though. I haven't learned how to take good pics in all conditions and haven't gotten the macro mode to work for me yet. Haven't tried much yet. The one problem I don't like is it doesn't have a manual focus. You have to work with the auto focus and on some objects it just doesn't work well, like animals and birds sometimes. You have to focus on something about the same distance away, hold the trigger halfway down, frame your target and snap. For instance, I had a Monarch caterpillar I was trying to snap up close in macro mode and I couldn't figure it out and focus. So I backed up 30 feet and used the zoom and got this. Not too bad.
