Simply the best image of this bird I've seen yet! I was standing just a few feet (tripod distance) away and my image of this bird is totally different and nowhere near as good. Excellent shot.

A handsome critter and image, for sure, EJ.

We stumbled upon one of these when we were down your way but in the time in took me to get set up to make it an NSN star it decided it had had enough of waiting around and flew off :roll:

What I like the best about this shot (apart from things mention above) is a great detail in the eye! Very nice shot!
