This beauty was sitting on a light pole, hunting the side of the road. I walked up and along both sides of it and he/she just would NOT look at me. Kept playing hard to get until I was ready to leave, then I was tossed a few sideway glances and dismissed. Oh well, I'll take what I can get.

Great pics! The sky is so blue. Did you use a polarizer filter or post process, or did it just turn out that way? Great!

I think if you look closely, you will see the head at different angles / rotations.

excellent pics btw.. i hope to manage a few wildlife pics shortly.
