This fellow came to visit after sunset but he did treat us to a 'dance' while we watched (click on the download of the second photo for the GIF).
Nikon D500; Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6
A gorgeous image ! .........except for the noise
Nice image and animation. Good job.
Wow ππππππ
Loved the show! Good catch!
LOL...that was fun! Great shots of a bird on my list to capture! I didn't know you could do that!
Iβm not sure if he was preening or attempting to make an obscene jesture towards me but I had the camera on a tripod so I just let it rip at 10 frames per second and made a GIF out of what resulted. Iβve had a population explosion of pocket gophers that seems to have brought raptors and a pair of Great Horned Owls to the area. Thanks for commenting!

. Thank you! I had my finger on the shutter release and the camera on a tripod when the show began. ;-)

Thank you for looking and your thoughtful critique. Low light, after sunset, and in the trees so my ISO was higher than ideal. He seemed aware and not entirely pleased with my being there so I didnβt want to approach any closer. The noise doesnβt bother me at the size I intend to print at so Iβm not inclined to PP to remove it. Compromises...
