Canon 1Ds Mark II 600 IS L Lens + 2XTCII 1/320 f11 ISO 400 BB-1 Gitzo Tripod, Winberley Head. JBar Ranch, Alice, Texas

After many hours on the blind, there were the same birds over and over, very fearless, so I remembered the article from Greg about the intimate portraits, since the light was good and with a cooperative subject I wanted to emphasize the facial marks.

Thanks for looking, all comments are welcome.

Looks like a Conehead to me! Now, does he simply feed or does he consume mass quantities? :wink: :wink: :wink:
