I just returned from a mostly successful trip to Florida. This bird was very hard to find but thanks to a tip from a local birder I was able to locate it. I had to shoot from the road (private property) and wasn't as close as I wanted. Plus the sky was mostly cloudy giving me a mostly white background. However I was happy to see this bird and get a few images.

Please click image for uncompressed view, thanks

Very nice find and capture Bob! Looking pretty sharp considering long distance shot with 7D2.

Wow! He gave you a nice pose. Good detail against a tough background. This species is on my wish list!
