The image is from Florida doing some ground level avian with a 500 and ground pod.... Who is this person?

If you are attentive pointers can be learned. Noticed the raised leg?....its actually the way to get birds to turn their heads one way or the other :roll: don't know if I should be giving out secrets like that.

Comments welcome and much appreciated

There's only one person that wears a hat like that that I know. This is an easy one but I won't give it away

I know who it is, but I won't tell yet either. E.J. is right. It's an easy one.

I'd recognize that stairmaster-toned body anywhere. What makes the shot is the Little Blue. The Snowy I could do without.

Looks like the maestro is demonstrating his belly crawling, leg lifting techniques.

I could tell....but I won't. Don't you have one with his nightwatchman's hat ?I think that's what you would call it down south - we Montrealers would call it a tuque - he has plenty of them wrapped around his gear.

Hi Pete, You can get the adult shade caps from Sun Precaution in Seattle, Washington. Al knows another brand that is a bit better for flight photography but not quite as good for sun protection.

Best, artie
