Excellent capture Andrea. I have never seen one in the wild.
Thank you BamaTexan for taking a look and leaving such a nice comment. I had only seen one before this and did not expect to capture one in my yard. It was worth leaving late for work.

Congratulations on an excellent, difficult shot. And great subject matter to boot!
Thank you Doug for for stopping in for a view and thank you for the congratulations. If I never get another shot at one one of these birds at least I was able to capture this one.

Did you hear some rather loud cawing/cackling, before or after you saw him? Most time you can hear them, way before you see them. Gives one time to get their camera out.
I am Blessed, I get to see them, almost everyday,

Michael, thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I don't recall that I heard anything prior to seeing this guy. I was pretty busy getting ready to leave and when I opened my curtains is when I saw him. I just knew I had to take the opportunity I had been given. I am not breaking down my camera until I am ready to travel in the event I get another opportunity.

I looked out the window this morning as I was getting ready to leave for work and I saw this guy hanging on the front of the playset in my backyard. I quickly put my Tammy onto my T3i and took 4 shots handheld at 600 mm. This was the last and best of what I shot. I did not crop this at all. I did some basic brightening of the overall picture as the light was still pretty low and I had to shoot at 1600 ISO. It may not be perfect but it is my first.
