Excellent shot, love the detail. Was this an early morning shot or late evening shot?
Thanks Bruce! The shot was taken about 8 am ... after waiting and watching him for 45 mins or so. He was aware I was there and kept an eye on me all the time.
They sure know how to pose for the camera lol. Nice shooting.
While waiting for the take-off, I took nearly a hundred clicks at this bird over a 45 min period. It's very unusual for them to have that much patience with me! He/she was very aware of my presence.
