This one was perched on a branch about 3 feet away from me, and stayed there for quite some time as mama watched from a perch a little overhead. This was one of the most incredible birds I have *ever* seen! His slightly younger, more down covered brother or sister was also perched in a tree a little ways away and dad was supervising him. :D

What an awesome shot. We were there on Sunday but couldn't get a clean line for a good shot.

Thank you - I have been there pretty often and this is by far the best shot I've ever gotten of him! :)
