This is a gorgeous capture, Joe! The excellent colors of both the bird and the background make it very appealing.

Two really nice captures, Russ! Both are very sharp.

This young one is still learning, hovering just a few feet above the nest, but about 40 feet in the air

After ~4 weeks incubating and ~another 4 weeks on the nest this fledgling MIKI finally took to the air...and looks mighty fierce while doing so.

I've been shooting mostly at 1/2000 and 1/1600. I think I'm going to follow your lead and see how it goes at 1/3200. My only concern is high ISO resulting in more noise.
