It maybe over a month now since I last posted pictures of the YHBB. I think they have young ones now, he is much more tolerant of the people around, but still always on guard of his family. Here are some 'updated' photos of the distinguished dad :)

Great shots Jo, this is one species that periodically shows up down here....but I've never been fortunate enough to see them.

Thanks Mark :) As good looking as they are, they have one of the weirdest sounding call :)

Thanks Jeremy, I am really liking this body and very happy I made the decision. But note that I am upgrading from a rebel camera so it is a big jump. One of the biggest difference I've seen is when I have to crop the pictures. The noise handling is very good, and the quality of the images does not degrade. As you know, most of the times we can't get close to the birds. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, appreciate the kind words :)

Looking good Jo! The facial expressions are priceless and seem to fit the cattail seed pods floating about his head.

Very nice Jo! What a cool looking bird, I've never seen one and don't think I will around here. :)

Beautiful captures...the fluff on his head compliments the cattail seeds.
