Photographed at the Laguna Seca Ranch in South Texas November 3, 2018,

Nikon D850, 300mm f/2.8 lens, Nikon 1.4 TC, 1/2000 sec at f/8.0, ISO 400.

If you look closely, you can see a red ring beginning to develop around the eye.  This is usually the first indication that it is a juvenile male and not a female.

Thanks for the education- a sweet pose of this young bird looking slightly awkward.

A sweet pose at water’s edge, Gene! Good detail, and I like feel of habitat in the image.

Nice image, love the alert pose. I just looked at my shots from Texas tonight looking for a certain bird.
