I can't remember ever seeing a GBH in this park before, and I go there quite often. It was stalking prey, though I never saw it catch anything while I watched. It gave me some nice poses, though:

Thanks, Saleavitt.

Still want to capture a GBH with a gopher or some other rodent or ground mammal someday.

Raz:

I use a Canon 50D with a 500L f4.5 lens on a tripod for most of my bird photography, these images included.

The GBH is a beautiful bird, especially in breeding plumage.
