Nice.

Thank you! I do find them to be quite skittish. It's my wife's favorite bird, so I was pretty excited to capture it! :)

I agree that they are quite a challenge! I've tried several times, but this is definitely the best I've done. I was fortunate enough to see it perched over a creek while riding passenger over a small bridge that crossed the creek. I was able to lean out the window and take several shots without it flying off. Had I tried getting that close on foot, I have a hunch it would have left.

Agreed.
I have yet to get a clear shot of one.
Nice job.
