treadwl Loc: South Florida

I've thrown away hundreds of "attempts" to catch the very shy and fast little bird. Finally, my efforts were rewards. Shot with a Nikon D810, 200-400mm lens with tc2.0 to get as much reach as possible. Camera on tripod with gimbal head. If you even point a camera at these guys they are gone laughing at you.This time I got lucky. Composition could be better-----but I got him!!

Please use the download.

Thanks for looking. This is my Christmas gift to me!!
