10D 100/400 IS handheld 275mm 1/320 @f6.3 ISO 200 eval -2/3

Taken at Anclote key, Florida on Monday AM

Very cooperative juvenile posted quite happily for 8 or 9 shots then decided to exit the area.

Very nice, Michael. Is this a YCNH or BCNH? I'm guessing YC because of the size of the white spots on the wings and because of the nearly black bill. I wouldn't bet the ranch, however. There's got to be many who know ID better than I.

I'm with Alex - I'll add that the surroundings are slightly busy, but the bird is different enough color-wise to not get lost. These guys are fun and your picture shows it well.

Nice image. I think I would have left more in front and a tiny bit more in back.

Hi Michael! I like the BG colors and only would like to see this wary bird with a little less exposure.

Very nice Mike! I know this bird very well... didn't realize you had posted until I scrolled down far enough.

Definitely a YCNH with that black bill. I agree with Juli on the exposure; just a little hot. The BG may be busy, but it's representative of where you'll find 'em. I like the overall comp.
