I know, I know..... you're probably sick of me and my GGO images but I just couldn't resist. I just love the fact that this bird has given me not only flight shots, but a variety of perches for the static shots.

Never sick of great images. You're lucky to have such a magnificent bird willing to pose for you so often. Keep 'em coming.

I am feeling a bit sick, but it's envy related. :) Outstanding image quality as always Harv, and wow what a poser you found.

Are you using a blind for these? Shot with a 70-200 2.8 at 200mm and not much of a crop, you had to be pretty close. Or is he just accustomed to your presence now?

Thanks a lot, Andrew. Yes, once it knows you pose (pun intended) no threat, it is quite approachable.

Steve, that's how I feel when I look at your shorebirds and waders. Thanks a lot, my friend.

No, no blind. The bird was pretty tolerant of me, realizing I posed no threat.
