Good to see you back. A few of us were asking each other where you were just the other day. And good to see an image like this as well. Very intimate, detailed shot of interesting action.

Hi Sandy! Welcome back. Neat image and incredibly sharp. Must be a pretty big nest they are working on.

Hi Sandy,

It's wonderful to see you back here! That big branch looks heavy. Wonderful shot.

Great shot Sandy. Looks like he is going to build a bird sized log cabin.

:D :D :D Excellent image. We usually see great shots of GBHs' fishing, courtship, etc. but, none as nice as this nest builder. It's good to see you back, I missed you input.

At 1/1600 with an aperture of f/8, high-speed sync is negligible if not useless at distance.

Best,

Let me add my welcome back, Sandy. You were truly missed.

Great shot and it's amazing to see a GBH carrying something that big.

Wonderful technique, as usual.

What an image....and what a trip you had. This one looks like he's going to build a log cabin....for all his friends up here that are going to head south for the warmth. Great to have you back....you have been missed.
