This nest was at the top of a very high tree at a distance of about 150 feet, resulting in a very heavy crop. There was just enough of an opening through the trees between me and the nest to to get the shot.

Taken with 1D Mark IV, 300/2.8 + 2xTC III.

Nice one Harv! He does look like you woke him up and it looks like he has out grown his nest! :)

Folks, I want to thank you all for stopping in to look and comment. I very much appreciate you taking the time to do so. I apologize for not being around more but I've been very busy and rarely get on the forum these days. Hopefully, when things slow down a bit, I can spend more time here.

Thanks for looking? Thanks for posting! ;)
What a wonderful portrait of a special little wonder Harv. Very nicely done. Hopefully part of what will be keeping you busy will be going back for more photos. :)
